Comparison of the Effect of Root Canal Preparation by Using WaveOne and ProTaper on Postoperative Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Evaluation of Post-Operative Pain After Irrigation Using End-Vented Navitip Tips Versus Side-Vented Navitip Tips in Teeth With Irreversible Pulpitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial Part Vi.

“…Root canal preparation was performed by crown-down technique using ProTaper Universal rotary system, this was in agreement with Nekoofar et al (2015) (14) who concluded that post-operative pain was significantly lower with ProTaper Universal rotary instruments compared with WaveOne reciprocating instruments and Arias et al (2015) (15) who found that more post-operative pain occurred after step-back manual instrumentation than after crown-down rotary instrumentation.…”

Evaluation of Postoperative Pain After Working Length Determination Using Electronic Apex Locator Versus Digital Radiography in Multirooted Teeth. A Randomized Controlled Trial.

“…Protaper universal rotary system was chosen for mechanical preparation in this study, owing to the fact that (NiTi) rotary instruments result in minimal debris extrusion compared to the stainless-steel hand K-files, which is attributed to their rotary action, Archimedes' screw effect and copious irrigation associated with these instruments (24) . Nekoofar et al (25) compared the postoperative pain levels and analgesic consumption following root canal treatment using reciprocating M wire alloy Wave one and Rotary Protaper and he concluded that the postoperative pain was significantly lower in patients treated with ProTaper rotary instruments compared with the Wave One reciprocating single-file system and the analgesic intake was much more in the wave one group.…”

The effect of various kinematics on postoperative pain after instrumentation: a prospective, randomized clinical study

“…Previous studies have reported conflicting results on postoperative pain regarding the effect of instrumentation using reciprocating and rotation 4,5 . Neelakantan and Sharma 4 (2015) evaluated postoperative pain after instrumentation of root canals with a single-file reciprocating (Reciproc) and rotary (One Shape, MicroMega, France) file systems, concluding that Reciproc showed significantly less intensity and duration of postoperative pain than One Shape.…”

“…According to a systematic review, the frequency of endodontic postoperative pain in patients is between 3% and 58% 11 . Postoperative pain can be affected by almost all of the procedures in root canal treatment, including anaesthesia administration 6 , introduction of glide path 8 , use of instrumentation systems 4,5 , and retreatment 13 .…”
