Background:
The objective of root canal therapy is the complete cleansing and sealing of the entire root canal system, encompassing all of its elements. This current study was undertaken to evaluate the occurrence of postoperative pain in the patients during single-session RCT.
Materials And Methods:
A total of 70 maxillary central incisor teeth from 55 patients, representing both genders, were chosen for a one-session root canal procedure. Postoperative discomfort was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at the following time intervals: 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours following the treatment.
Results:
Among the 55 patients, there were 35 males and 20 females. The average VAS scores at various time points were as follows: 6 hours (7.4), 12 hours (5.2), 24 hours (3.4), and 48 hours (2.5). These differences were found to be statistically significant (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
The authors observed a significant reduction in postoperative pain following a one-session RCT.
