Postoperative Pain Evaluation After Obturation With Different Sealers

Assessment of Postoperative Pain Incidence in Teeth Affected by Pulpitis, Necrosis, or Previously Treated, Following Obturation With Bioceramic or Resin-based Sealers

Sponsor

University of Siena

Enrollment

270 participants

Start Date

Jun 1, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Periapical Periodontitis Pulpitis Necorsis

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the incidence and intensity of postoperative pain in patients undergoing root canal treatment on teeth diagnosed with pulpitis, pulp necrosis, or with previous endodontic treatment. Teeth will be obturated using either bioceramic or resin-based sealers. The primary objective is to determine whether the type of sealer significantly influences the level of postoperative pain as reported by patients. Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at three time points: immediately after treatment, 24 hours, and 72 hours postoperatively. The findings are expected to provide clinical insight into which obturation material may be more effective in minimizing postoperative discomfort.

Interventions

PROCEDUREAH Plus (Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC, USA)

Root canal obturation using AH Plus (Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC, USA), a resin-based sealer with low solubility and shrinkage. Used in combination with gutta-percha for root canal filling

PROCEDURENeoSealer Flo

Root canal obturation using NeoSealer Flo (Avalon Biomed, Houston, TX, USA), a premixed bioceramic sealer based on calcium silicate. Used in combination with gutta-percha to enhance apical healing and biocompatibility.

PROCEDUREContinuous Wave Condensation

A warm vertical compaction technique using heat-softened gutta-percha to obturate the canal in three dimensions. Considered the gold standard for achieving dense and homogenous root canal fillings.

PROCEDURESingle Cone Technique

A cold hydraulic condensation technique using a single gutta-percha cone matched to the last rotary file, combined with a high-flow sealer. Designed for simplified obturation with minimal operator variability
