“…These factors are interrelated and directly interdependent, followed by acute inflammation such as periodontitis, pre radicular acute or chronic abscess, while subsequent processes occurred within the channel. 13 It has been stated that pain before endodontic treatment affects pain intensity after treatment, although the results of this study showed no significant differences in pain intensity and frequency in both therapy and control groups.…”

Introduction: Pharmacotherapy with analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been traditionally used to relief post-operative pain of endodontic treatments. However, due to the side effects reported for these drugs, some efforts have been made to decrease the post-operative pain of the endodontic treatments through laser irradiation. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of low level laser therapy (LLLT) on the reduction of pain after root canal retreatment. Methods: In this clinical trial, 61 patients requiring endodontic retreatments in posterior teeth were selected. A single visit endodontic retreatment was performed. After biomechanical preparation, low level laser was irradiated to the buccal and lingual mucosa overlying the apices of the target tooth in the experimental group. In the control group patients received placebo laser to eliminate the probable psychological effects of laser. Laser irradiation was done with a single dose of 808 nm wavelength (Whitening Lase II-Laser DMC, Samsung, Korea) with 100 mW power, and dose of 70 J/cm 2 for 80 seconds. Pain severity was recorded before, immediately after and 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after the treatment by visual analogue scale (VAS). The pain scores were statistically analyzed by chi-square test between 2 groups. The effects of different variables on the post-operative pain experience were also studied by means of Logistic regression. Results: Pain scores decreased significantly through time until 48 hours after treatment. No significant differences were observed between the 2 modalities regarding pain scores at any time. According to regression analysis, pain severity scores were lower in the laser-irradiated specimens than control groups (OR = 5.69); however, this difference was not statistically significant. Consumption of analgesics after the treatment had significant effect in decreasing post-operative pain experience (OR = 56) while factors of age, gender, laser irradiation, pre-treatment pain scores and education level did not. Conclusion: Low level laser irradiation had limited effects to decrease pain associated with the endodontic retreatments in the first and second molars; however, more studies are required to assess the effects of different parameters of low level laser in this regard.

Objectives : The purpose of the present study was to asses the incidence and severity of pain after single and two visit Root Canal Treatment ( RCT ) / endodontic treatment in asymptomatic non vital single rooted maxillary teeth. Methods : Eighty one cases of endodontically involved asymptomatic, non vital, single rooted maxillary teeth without evidence of periapical radiolucency in radiograph were selected for this study. The patient were divided into two treatment group. In single visit group, all teeth were prepared and filled using the standardized preparation and lateral condensation filling technique. In the two visit treatment group, at the first appointment, the teeth were prepared and dressed with calcium hydroxide paste for 7 days. At the second appointment, the teeth were prepared and obturated by using lateral condensation technique. The frequency of post obturation pain was recorded as no pain, slight/ mild, moderate and severe pain and evaluated at the day 1 and at the day 7 after obturation. The data were analyzed statistically by using SPSS version 16. p-value <0.05 was taken as significant. Results : No significant difference in post obtuation pain was found in between single and two visit RCT in maxillary teeth. At the day 1 and 7 after obturation, single visit (n= 41) group and two visit (n=40) group similarly experienced moderate pain (2.5% and 1.1% respectively in both group). At day 1 and 7 after obturation, mild pain is more in single visit than two visit group. However, there was no statistically significant difference in pain between the two groups. No one experienced severe pain in two groups. Conclusion: The incidence and severity of post obturation pain did not differ between single and two visit RCT in asymptomatic non vital single rooted maxillary teeth.

“…Some of the problem of RCT is post obturation pain, inter appointment pain and swelling 4 . Post obturation pain is the pain of any degree after endodontic treatment 5 . Development of pain after completion of RCT may undermine patient's confidence in the clinician and acceptance of the procedure 6 .…”

Introduction: Root canal treatment (RCT) is a common procedure in dentistry. In recent year, single visit RCT has gained increased acceptance as a treatment procedure of RCT. One of the problem of RCT is post obturation pain. Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the incidence of post obturation pain related to single visit RCT in asymptomatic non-vital single rooted teeth. Methods: A total 60 cases of endodontically involved asymptomatic non-vital single rooted teeth without any evidence of periapical radiolucency in radiograph, were selected for this study. The canals of all teeth were prepared and filled using the standarized preparation and lateral condensation filling technique. The frequency of post obturation pain was recorded as no pain, slight, moderate and severe pain and evaluated at the day l and at the day 7 after obturation. Result: Out of the 60 patients involved in the study, 37 patients had no pain, 12 patients had slight pain and 11 patients had moderate pain at the day 1 after post obturation. At the day 7 after post obturation, 50 patients had no pain, 8 patients had slight pain and 2 patients had moderate pain. No one showed severe pain in both follow up days. Conclusion: Statistically significant differences were found in the incidence and degree of pain between two follow up days. Incidence of pain was more in 1 st post obturation day and decreased thereafter.
