Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this prospective, randomized, placebo controlled study is to evaluate the effect of a single preoperative dose of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid combination on post-operative pain and swelling in adult patient with symptomatic apical periodontitis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Medical and dental history will be obtained from all patients participating in this trial. Clinical and radiographic evaluation for each tooth included in this study will be recorded.

Clinical diagnosis of symptomatic apical periodontitis is to be confirmed.

Prior to initiation of root canal treatment, eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following groups: experimental group (receiving 2 gm of amoxicillin/ clavulanic acid orally 30 minutes before the treatment) or control group (receiving a placebo 30 minutes before treatment).

Root canal treatment will then be carried out in a single visit.

Each patient will receive a 7-day diary to record postoperative pain and swelling. In case of pain, the participant will be instructed to take an analgesic. Post-operative pain will be measured as a primary outcome on 11-point scale (NRS) at the following time points: 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days. The occurrence of swelling will be reported by participant as a secondary outcome.
