ASSESSMENT OF FREQUENCY OF POST-TREATMENT PAIN AFTER SINGLE AND MULTIPLE SITTING ENDODONTIC THERAPIES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Root canal therapy and tooth extraction are amongst the most commonly administered treatments for pain relief. Blocking the nociceptive impulses during root canal treatment is performed with the administration of local anaesthesia, whereas reducing the nociceptive input is managed by prescribing a medicament such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent prostaglandin formation at the site of injury. Hence, we plan the present study assess the relationship between the frequency of post- operative pain and the type of root canal therapy .i.e. single sitting or multiple sitting. Materials & methods: The present study included assessment of 100 patients undergoing single sitting and multiple sitting root canal therapies. All the patients were divided into two study groups. One group consisted of patients undergoing single sitting endodontic therapy while the other group consisted of patients undergoing multiple sitting endodontic therapies. Incidence of pain was assessed at different time intervals and compared. All the results were compiled and analyzed. Results: At pre-treatment time, VAS value for subjects in single sitting and multiple sitting groups was 28.32 and 32.57 respectively. Non- Significant results were obtained while comparing the VAS score sin between the two study groups at different time intervals. Conclusion: No significant reduction in the frequency of post-treatment pain occurs in patients undergoing multiple sitting root canal therapy.
