“…At times it has been suggested that canals prepared by chemo mechanical preparation is alone not completely efficient in removing microorganisms which are primarily responsible for the pathology. 4 Incomplete removal of the microorganisms increases the chances of occurrence of post-treatment disease which is characterized by the failed primary treatment of the tooth which further hampers the prognosis of the affected tooth. 5 Different studies suggest the primary cause of pain after initial treatment is the failure of proper disinfection of the canals.…”

Objective: The present research evaluated and compared effectiveness between nitrofurantoin and double antibiotic paste in alleviating post-operative pain in patients suffering from symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Methods: There were 60 subjects enrolled who were allotted among three groups: Group 1 – Nitrofurantoin, Group 2 – double antibiotic paste, and Group 3 – Control. Succeeding access opening and chemo mechanical preparation, intracanal medicament was placed in the root canals. Using a numerical pain scale, pain scores were measured at the following time intervals: preoperative, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h. One-way ANOVA and post hoc statistical analysis were conducted, with a p-value of ⩽ considered as statistically significant. Results: Preoperatively, most patients experienced moderate to severe pain. The patients in groups 1 and 2 reported considerable reduction in their pain scores ( p ⩽ 0.001) on each time interval. However, patients in group 3 experienced a higher level of pain even at 72 h. No considerable distinction was found among participant’s pain scores of groups 1 and 2 ( p = 0.193). Conclusion: For effective pain-relieving, both nitrofurantoin and double antibiotic paste can be successfully used in patients suffering from symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. However, when calcium hydroxide was used, patients experience high levels of pain.

Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the effect of access cavity designs on the polymicrobial biofilm disinfection of root canal system. Methods: One hundred and twenty molar teeth were selected and randomly divided into four groups (n = 30) on the basis of access cavity design: traditional access cavity (TEC), contracted access cavity (CAC), truss access cavity (TAC), and caries-driven access cavity (CDAC). After access preparation, the samples were contaminated for 2 weeks to grow polymicrobial mature biofilm. Microbial sampling from the root canals was performed with sterile paper points before and after instrumentation to determine the bacterial load. The bacterial reduction was counted as CFU/ml and analyzed statistically. Results: Both maxillary and mandibular molars with different cavity designs showed significant decreased in the number of Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans postinstrumentation. TEC group showed significantly higher microbial reduction for all tested microorganisms than TAC and CDAC groups (P < 0.05). However, insignificant difference (P > 0.05) was observed between TEC and CAC and TAC and CDAC. Conclusion: In both maxillary and mandibular molars, complete elimination of microbes (E. faecalis, C. albicans, and S. aureus) could not be achieved with any access cavity design. Highest microbial reduction was achieved with TEC and lowest in CDAC. Both TEC and CAC resulted in equal microbial reduction and were superior to TAC and CDAC.
