Conditions
Summary
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of ibuprofen, nitrofurantoin, and calcium hydroxide on postoperative pain after endodontic treatment of necrotic mandibular posterior teeth Research question/hypothesis: In patients with necrotic pulps in their mandibular posterior teeth, there would be no difference in the incidence and/or severity of postoperative pain after the use of ibuprofen, nitrofurantoin, or calcium hydroxide intracanal medications.
