Incidence of posttreatment endodontic pain related to medicaments and other factors

This study compared the incidence of posttreatment pain associated with the use of formocresol, Cresatin, eugenol, CMCP, iodine-potassium iodide, and a dry cotton pellet. The incidence of pain was also examined in relation to patient factors and the type of treatment performed.Variables such as age, sex, and treatment procedures were studied to determine any statistical difference in relation to postoperative pain. A statistical analysis on the collected data showed no statistical significance between the incidence of pain and the medicament used.There was no significant difference in the incidence of pain between sexes or between different age groups. The only significant variable was that there was less frequency of post treatment pain after obturation.
