Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • passive ultrasonic activation

    Procedure/Surgery

    passive ultrasonic irrigant activation will be performed by using a stainless steel ultrasonic Irrisafe file of size 20 (IRRI S 21/25; VDW, Germany) mounted on ultrasonic unit (Woodpecker Ultrasonic Scaler UDS-J). The file will be kept 2 mm short of working length loosely without binding to the canal. 2.5% NaOCl will be activated for 30 seconds by using a power setting of five

  • sonic activation

    Procedure/Surgery

    root canals will be filled with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and medium size tip (red, 25/04) of EndoAcivator (YAHOPE A3, China) will be used keeping it 2 mm short of working length. The activation of irrigant will be done in 2-3 mm vertical strokes for 30 seconds in between each instrumentation

Treatment groups

72 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups

Group B: Sonic activationActive comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

pain score on visual analogue scale

After complete root canal irrigation and preparation, canals will be dried and a temporary dressing of Cavit will be placed. Patients will be reappointed for obturation. VAS scale ranging from 0-10 will be given to patient and will be demonstrated on how to record their pain and which will be recorded by the patient after 24 hours and 48 hours by marking on a chart ranging from 0-10 with 0 = no pain, 1-3 = mild pain, 4-6 = moderate pain 7-10 = severe pain. On 5th day of follow-up, obturation will be done using single cone obturation method
