Abstract The established multiple-visit treatment for necrotic teeth with apical periodontitis has been challenged by single-visit treatment. However, there is no clear support for the one or the other treatment in the literature. The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate if non-surgical primary root canal treatment carried out in single-visit or multiple-visit makes any difference in terms of radiographic healing in necrotic teeth with apical periodontitis. The null hypothesis was: there is no difference in the rate of apical healing for the two treatment modalities The literature search was organized through the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM the National Library of Medicine (NLM)) using PubMed database and EMBASE Ovid to select articles with single-visit or multiple-visit included teeth with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis. Of the 60 identified studies, only eight studies were included in current meta-analysis. The main reasons for exclusions were teeth with other diagnosis except necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis, studies with no comparison between single- and multiple-visit endodontics within the same study and studies without healing rate appearance. Results from each of the included studies were entered into the statistical program Stata, Version 15 (Texas, USA). The odds ratio (OR) and the 95% confidence interval for each study were calculated (dependent variable: single-visit/multiple-visit, independent variables: healed/not healed based on intra oral radiographs) with the random effect model. There was no significant difference in radiographic evidence of periapical healing between single-visit endodontics and multiple-visit treatment modalities, of the primary root canal treatment in necrotic teeth with apical periodontitis (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 0.67-1.83) as evaluated on intra oral radiographs. Thus, the null hypothesis could not be rejected.

Abstract Background: This study aims to assess the effect of root canal disinfection with a 980 µm diode laser following chemomechanical root canal preparation on the severity of pain after root canal treatment (RCT).Methods: In present study, asymptomatic, single-rooted teeth with periapical index (PAI) score 3 or 4 were included. All patients were treated with two visits of root canal treatment including dressing with calcium hydroxide. Patients were randomly divided into two groups (n: 28). ‘Control (no laser)’: The final irrigation was performed using 5ml 2.5% NaOCI, followed by 5 ml 17% EDTA and 5 ml distilled water. ‘Laser Disinfection (LD)’: Root canals were irradiated with 980 µm diode laser after final irrigation at both visits. The pain levels were evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS) after 8, 24, 48 hours and 7 days. In addition, analgesic intake and time intervals were recorded by patients. The collected data were statistically analyzed with the Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U test (p<0.05).Results: The average pain level in the control group after 24 hours was significantly higher than that in the laser group after the first appointment (p<0.05). The average pain level after the second appointment was statistically higher at 24 h and 48 h in the control group (p<0.05). PP levels at 24-hs after the first appointment were higher than the second appointment only in the control group (p<0.05). After first appointment, analgesic use in the control group at 8 h (40%) and 24 h (23%) were significantly higher than LD group (p<0.05).Conclusions: Root canal disinfection with diode laser may reduce PP in single-rooted teeth with PAI score 3 or 4.Trial registration: Effect of the Diode Laser on Post-operative Pain After Endodontic Treatment in Teeth with Apical Periodontitis: NCT04486196.

Aim: To compare the post-operative pain after the use of rotary and conventional root canal instruments in single and multiple visit root canal treatment Materials and Method: 168 patients requiring Root Canal Treatment [RCT] in maxillary and mandibular 1st molar were involved in the study. On the basis of vitality and radiographic features two groups were made, multiple visit (Group A n=72), single visit (Group B n=96). Then the patients were randomly divided into 4 subgroups. Subgroup I n=36 (multiple visit conventional RCT), Subgroup II n=36 (multiple visit rotary RCT), Subgroup III n=48 (single visit Conventional RCT) and Subgroup IV n=48 (single visit rotary RCT). In subgroup I & Subgroup III Canal preparation was done with stainless steel K files in step back manner. In subgroup II & Subgroup IV, rotary Protaper Next was used. Irrigation was done with 3 % NaOCl and Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) alternatively followed by obturation. The postobturation pain was recorded at 6hr, 12hr, 24hr, 1 week using visual analogue scale. Statistical Analysis was done using Tukey HSD Post Hoc Test and ANOVA Test. Results: Within 24 hours there was statistically significant difference between the groups (p< 0.05) but after 7 days no statistically significant difference was there (p>0.05). Conclusion: Patients in the groups either in single and multiple visit experience less postobturation pain if the canal preparation was done with the rotary files at all the time intervals (6hrs, 12hrs, 24hrs ) but after 7 days no statistical difference was found.

Background: This is a systematic review to assess and provide a pooled effect estimate, if possible, for the effects of triple antibiotic paste as an intra-canal medication for root canal treatment of mature permanent non-vital teeth with apical periodontitis. This review will assess post-operative pain, flare-up incidence, and clinical and radiographic healing. Methods: Nine electronic databases (Pubmed, CENTRAL, VHL, Scopus, EBSCOhost, Web of Science, Trip, OpenGrey, Proquest) were searched along with two major clinical trial registries. Conference proceedings, reference lists and citations of the included studies were also searched. A total of 537 records were identified and 392 were obtained after duplicate removal. Six records were identified after screening and three studies were included after full text eligibility assessment. Results:  Three comparators were reported in the included studies: calcium hydroxide paste, 2% chlorhexidine gel and ledermix paste.  There was no statistically significant difference between triple antibiotic paste and calcium hydroxide regarding postoperative pain, and clinical and radiographic healing of periapical lesions. There was no difference between triple antibiotic paste and chlorhexidine regarding flare-up incidence. However, triple antibiotic paste reduced the level of post-operative pain more than ledermix, which was statistically significant. Conclusions:  The evidence is still insufficient surrounding the use of triple antibiotic paste; therefore more clinical investigations with high levels of evidence and rigorous methodologies are needed.

In this study, 120 teeth having periradicular pathosis were treated with single visit root canal treatment and then obturated with either calcium hydroxide containing sealer or mineral trioxide aggregate based sealer. The healing of periradicular pathosis was examined at 3, 6, and 12 months by clinical and radiological evaluation. Collected data were analyzed with standard statistical methods by using SPSS version- 20. The results showed that at 3 and 6 months, the differences between calcium hydroxide containing sealer or mineral trioxide aggregate based sealer were not statistically significant. However, the healing capability of periapical radiolucency at 12 months between two groups was statistically significant (P=0.03). The final outcome of the clinical and radiological investigation showed successful results of 96.6% and 98.1% in calcium hydroxide and mineral trioxide aggregate group, respectively. In conclusion, both calcium hydroxide and mineral trioxide aggregate based sealers are almost equally effective in single visit root canal therapy for the management of periradicular pathosis.
