About this trial

The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate and compare the incidence and intensity of post-operative pain after obturation using resin and silicon-based sealers.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

• Patient's age ranges from 18-50 years old.

Patients with teeth diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.

Normal periapical condition confirmed by normal periapical radiograph

The teeth are restorable

Disqualifiers

• Teeth with immature roots

Non restorable teeth

Medically compromised patients with systemic complication that would alter the treatment.

Necrotic teeth

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Primary local anesthesia

    Procedure/Surgery

    Tooth will be anaesthetized using Local anesthesia containing Articaine with epinephrine 1:100,000.

  • Supplemental local anesthesia

    Procedure/Surgery

    if needed

  • Removal Of Caries and Access Cavity

    Procedure/Surgery

    • Access cavity will be performed using a carbide round steel bur and tapered diamond stone until complete deroofing.

  • Rubber dam isolation of tooth

    Procedure/Surgery

    Rubber dam isolation of tooth using certain clamps .

  • Bleeding control

    Procedure/Surgery

    bleeding is controlled by using excavator for the removing the pulp tissue . using a piece of cotton soaked with Sodium hypochlorite. using local anesthesia with vasoconstrictor if needed and if suitable for the patient.

  • Canal negotiation

    Procedure/Surgery

    Coronal patency of the coronal and the Middle part of the canal using file #10 Apical patency of the apical part of the canal using #10

  • Coronal flaring

    Procedure/Surgery

    Coronal flaring using Orifice opener of a certain Rotary system in and out motion first then brushing motion touching all the canal walls

  • Working Length Determination (W.L)

    Procedure/Surgery

    Working length determination (W.L) using #10 K File , working length is recorded using apex locator and confirmatory radiograph.

  • Glide path

    Procedure/Surgery

    Glide path of the canal Using #10 ,15 ,20 ,25 K files till becoming Super-Loose Inside the Canal at the recorded w.l to create a path for the rotary file .

  • Irrigation

    Procedure/Surgery

    Irrigation using 5.25% sodium hypochlorite introduced using side vented needle

  • Cleaning and shaping using rotary system

    Procedure/Surgery

    Cleaning and shaping using rotary system plus irrigation and apical patency between every rotary file .

  • Second w.l determination

    Procedure/Surgery

    Second w.l determination using electronic apex locator before using final finishing rotary file .

  • Apical gauging

    Procedure/Surgery

    Establish the depth of apical constriction - this is the zero reading on your apex locator. your working length will be 0.5mm - 1mm short of this. After cleaning and preparing the canal system to your working length, passively insert 02 taper hand files, starting from #15. If the file goes past the apical constriction (your working length + 0.5-1mm), then choose the next largest file and repeat. When a file passively binds short of the apical constriction, that will be the upper limit of the apical constriction diameter. The smaller file before that would be the lower limit. Apical gauging helps with: Choosing the best master cone that closely matches canal length and taper Achieving true tug back - as opposed to false tug back! Minimising gutta percha extrusions during obturation

  • Activation of the irrigant

    Procedure/Surgery

    Activation of the irrigant using Manual Dynamic Agitation and Ultra x or eddy tips for activation

  • Master cone check

    Procedure/Surgery

    Master cone check Clinically and confirmatory radiograph

  • application of resin based sealer inside the canal in the resin based sealer group

    Drug

    application done by inserting inside the canal by spreader or master cone

  • application of the sillicon based sealer inside the canal in the sillicon based group

    Diagnostic test

    application done by injection inside the canal

  • Obturation

    Procedure/Surgery

    done by lateral condensation technique

  • Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Diagnostic test

    Pain is evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) which is a pain rating scale. Scores are based on measures that are self-reported of symptoms that are recorded through a single handwritten mark placed at one point along the length of a 10-cm line representing a continuum between the two ends of the scale; on the left end of the scale (0 cm) means "no pain" and the on the right end of the scale (10 cm) "worst pain"

Treatment groups

50 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Group (1) Resin Based Sealer interventionExperimental treatment 19 interventions
Group B: Group (2) Silicone Based Sealer interventionExperimental treatment 19 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Postoperative pain

Pain is evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) which is a pain rating scale. Scores are based on measures that are self-reported of symptoms that are recorded through a single handwritten mark placed at one point along the length of a 10-cm line representing a continuum between the two ends of the scale; on the left end of the scale (0 cm) means "no pain" and the on the right end of the scale (10 cm) "worst pain" Each Outcome Measure should typically only specify a single time point of assessment

Time frame
after 6 hours of endodontic treatment

Secondary outcomes

Other outcomes

1

sealer extrusion

The 2 blinded and calibrated examiners will evaluate the immediate periapical radiographs after canal obturation. Sealer extrusion will classified to either absent or present. If there will be a sealer extrusion in at least 1 root for multirooted teeth, will be regarded as the "presence" of sealer extrusion Measured by clinical symptoms and signs ( pain , swelling , parasthesia )

Time frame
average 1 week
2

root-filling voids

The 2 blinded and calibrated examiners will evaluate the immediate periapical radiographs after canal obturation. will classified to either absent or present. If there will be root-filling voids in at least 1 root for multirooted teeth, will be regarded as the "presence" of it

Time frame
after obturation is done intra-appointment
3

the level of root filling

The 2 blinded and calibrated examiners will evaluate the immediate periapical radiographs after canal obturation. just discovered it will be corrected

Time frame
