Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The primary question the study seeks to answer is whether there is a significant difference in the duration of endodontic procedures performed under different magnification techniques.
Patients indicated for root canal treatment in their maxillary first molar teeth will receive standard root canal therapy in accordance with routine clinical protocols. The duration of each procedural step will be recorded and subsequently compared among the three magnification methods.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1. The treatment procedures consist of seven main stages:
2. Preparation of the access cavity
3. Determination of the working length
4. Shaping of the root canals
5. Detection and shaping of the MB2 canal
6. Final irrigation and passive ultrasonic activation
7. Root canal filling
Application of the coronal restoration
All steps will be carried out according to standard clinical endodontic protocols under rubber dam isolation. The duration of each stage will be recorded individually.
Participants will be divided into three groups based on the magnification technique used during treatment:
Group 1: Treatments performed under direct vision
Group 2: Treatments performed using dental loupes
Group 3: Treatments performed using a dental operating microscope
All procedures in each group will follow the same standardized root canal treatment protocol, differing only in the magnification technique employed.
