Postoperative Pain After Root Canal Obturation Using Bioceramic and Calcium Hydroxide Sealers
Assessment of Postoperative Pain in Patients Obturated With Bioceramic and Calcium Hydroxide Sealers: A Randomized Clinical Trial
HITEC-Institute of Medical Sciences
50 participants
Jan 1, 2026
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study is designed to find out how different root canal sealers affect pain after root canal treatment. We are comparing two types of dental sealers: bioceramic sealer and calcium hydroxide sealer. Participants who need root canal treatment will receive one of these sealers as part of their standard dental care. After the procedure, they will be asked to report any pain they experience for a few days. The information from this study will help dentists choose sealers that may reduce post-treatment pain and improve patient comfort after root canal therapy.

Interventions
Participants will receive root canal obturation using CeraSeal Bioceramic Sealer. The sealer will be applied with a matching-taper gutta-percha cone using the single-cone technique after standard canal preparation and irrigation. The cavity will be sealed with glass ionomer cement. Postoperative pain will be recorded by participants using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours.
