About this trial

This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the mean and standard deviation of postobturation pain using two different sealers: a tricalcium silicate-based sealer (CeraSeal) and a resin-based sealer (Endoplus) in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis undergoing root canal treatment.

Postoperative pain after root canal treatment assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

Postoperative pain will be recorded using a 10-centimeter Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). On this scale, 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst pain imaginable. Higher scores correspond to greater pain intensity, meaning more pain. Patients will self-report their pain level at each time point (24 hours, 72 hours, and 7 days). This measure will be used to compare postoperative pain between patients treated with Endoplus resin-based sealer and CeraSeal bioceramic sealer.

Time frame
24 hours, 72 hours and 7 days
