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 1st post obturation day and decreased thereafter. Chattagram Maa-O-Shishu Hospital Medical College Journal Volume 12, Issue 3, September 2013: 16-19

The purpose of this study was to compare the frequency and nature of pain between the vital inflamed (n=55) and non-vital (n=55) teeth that received single visit root canal treatment. The frequency and nature of pain were assessed as no pain, mild, moderate and severe pain on day 2 and day 7. The results showed that 76.4 and 85.5% participants felt no pain in vital inflamed teeth on day 2 and day 7, respectively. On the other hand, 63.6 and 74.5% participants felt no pain in non-vital teeth on day 2 and day 7, respectively. The remaining participants only felt mild to moderate pain. There were no significant difference between the two groups (p=0.435 on day 2 and p=0.371 on day 7). The results suggested that single visit root canal treatment is equally effective in both vital inflamed and non-vital teeth.

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.Chatt  Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.15 (1); Jan 2016; Page 45-48

Objective: The present prospective comparative clinical trial was undertaken to compare the outcomes of single and two-visit root canal treatment of irreversible pulpitis. Methodology: This prospective study was conducted in the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics of Dhaka Dental College on patients who presented with pain due to irreversible pulpitis. Patients with single-rooted teeth with uncomplicated canal and full-formed apex having irreversible pulpitis were included. However, pregnant women or patients under treatment of antibiotics, cortiosteiods or suffering from any systemic diseases or immuno-compromised patients or patients having teeth with calcified canal or periodontal disease were excluded. A total of 80 patients who met the eligibility criteria were consecutively included and were randomly assigned to either one-visit (n = 40) or two-visit (n = 40) treatment groups. Data were kept on pulp vitality status, the presence or absence of pre-operative pain and degree of post obturation pain at 6, 12, 24, 48 hours and 1 week postoperatively. The outcome variable was intensity of pain which was measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) as 0 = no pain, 1 = slight pain or discomfort, 2 = moderate pain relieved by analgesic, 3 = moderate to severe pain not completely relieved by analgesics and 4 = severe pain or swelling not relieved by analgesics and required unscheduled visit. Result: Forty percent of the patients in the two-visit group did not have any pain (measured in terms of visual analogue scale) at 12 hours compared to 25% in the single visit group, although the difference did not turn significant (p = 0.580). Likewise the proportion of patients without pain in the two-visit group was considerably higher (52.5%) at 24 hours than that in the single-visit group (45%) (p = 0.852). Improvement in pain sensation was reported to be significantly higher in the two-visit group (as 95% of the patients did not complain any pain) at 48 hours than that in the single-visit group (80% of the patients did not complain any pain) (p = 0.015). None of the patients of either group complained of pain one week postoperatively. Conclusion: Compared to single-visit, two-visit root canal treatment showed better results in terms of intensity of post-obturation pain at 12, 24 and 48 hours after root canal treatment for irreversible pulpitis.

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.

Pain was induced in the ischemic forearm in more than 300 tests in seven subjects by an exercise which consisted of compression of an air bulb to raise or maintain a mercury column at 50, 100, or 200 mm for periods of 1, 2, 4, or 5.5 sec. The rate of pain development could be correlated with the product ( P) of the number of contractions, square root of the load (in mm Hg), and cube root of the duration of contraction (in sec). Slight pain appeared at a product of about 345 P, moderate pain at approximately 433 P, severe pain at 536 P, and intolerable pain at 626 P. A similar relationship could be shown in maintained contraction provided the total duration was treated as if each 5.5 sec of the maintained contraction constituted a separate contraction. Ischemia of the arm for periods up to 15 min had no effect on product. Recovery from the effect of exercise was complete in 10 min. Simultaneous exercise of the other arm had no effect on the rate of pain development. The results support the concept that muscle pain results from the local accumulation of a slowly diffusible material released during muscle contraction.

ABSTRACTThis case report describes the repositioning of a laterally luxated primary central incisor with occlusal interference, using a composite inclined plane. The patient was a 4-year-old girl who applied to our clinic three days after the injury. Because of the time delay between injury and presentation, it was not possible to reposition the tooth with pressure. Following a root-canal treatment, an inclined plane was prepared on the lower primary incisors, using composite resin. The tooth was repositioned in two weeks, and the inclined plane was then removed. After 1 year of follow-up, the treatment was found to be successful, both clinically and radiographically. The use of a composite inclined plane, accompanied by careful follow-up, is an effective alternative to extraction for laterally luxated primary incisors with occlusal interference.
