Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A total of 130 entitled patients reporting to Operative Dentistry Department, Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry will be invited for participation in this study. The procedure will be explained to the patients and their parents in Urdu language and a written informed consent will be taken (ANX "B") They will be screened for inclusion by taking history, performing relevant clinical examination and necessary tests along with peri-apical radiographs. Patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be divided into two groups using consecutive non random sampling.
Group 1: Patients treated with premedication of Non steroidal anti inflammatory drug (Ibuprofen) Group 2: Patients treated with premedication of Steroidal anti inflammatory drug (Dexamethsone)
Both groups will receive medication 15 mins before intiating root canal treatment. Root canal treatment will then be initiated under local anesthesia and rubber dam isolation. Working length will be taken 1mm from radiographic apex with apex locator and will be confirmed with radiograph. The root canals will be instrumented with ProTaper Next system under copious irrigation with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). Patency will be confirmed with a #10 K file between each instrument change. The root canals will be flushed with 5 mL of 17% EDTA solution. To control the microbiological impact on post-operative pain calcium hydroxide will be used as an intra-canal medicament and likewise 5.25% sodium hypochlorite as an irrigant in both groups. Following instrumentation and calcium hydroxide placement in the canal using lentulo spirals, the cavity will be temporarily sealed with cavit.
At the end of every appointment, patient will be given a visual analogue scale. The patient will be advised to mark the line corresponding with the intensity of his pain at 24, 48 and 72 hours after the first visit. The patient will be recalled after one week for obturation and final full coverage restoration. Analgesics will be prescribed in case of severe intolerable pain.
