Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effect of ultrasonic irrigation or manual dynamic agitation on postoperative pain in patients with necrotic teeth with symptomatic apical periodontitis using (VAS) scale.
Methods Seventy-eight patients diagnosed with necrotic mandibular first molar with symptomatic apical periodontitis were randomly allocated into 1 of 3 separate groups (n=26); Manual Dynamic Agitation group, Ultra X group, or Navitip group (control). After a single visit root canal treatment and a specific method of agitation, depending on each group, the patients were given a questionnaire on which the patient would mark the degree of pain in a scale from 0 to 10 at 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days post-obturation. Data were statistically analyzed with a significance level of P ≤ 0.05.
Results Ultrasonic agitation and SVN group (control) as a final irrigation protocol showed significantly lower pain values than the MDA group, but there was no significant difference in pain values between the experimental groups.
Conclusion There was significantly less pain associated with ultrasonic agitation and side vented needle (Navitip) irrigation compared to Manual Dynamic Agitation
