Post endodontic pain intensity following endodontic treatment with one reciprocating and one continuous rotation nickel titanium file systems.

Abstract :

Aim: To evaluate post endodontic pain following instrumentation with various NiTi file systems Materials and method: 150 patients were divided into three groups. Group 1: instrumentation with WaveOne file system. Group 2: instrumentation with ProTaper Next file system. Group 3: instrumentation with hand files. The severity of the postoperative pain was assessed by the visual analogue scale (VAS) after 6, 12, 24, and 48h. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal- Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results: The patients in control group reported significantly higher mean postoperative pain intensity at 12, 24, 48, and 72 h compared to the patients in the two other groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in mean intensity of postoperative pain between Reciproc and OneShape at 5 time points (P>0.05). Conclusion: The instrumentation kinematics (single-file reciprocating or single-file rotary) had no impact on intensity of postoperative pain.
