Evaluation of Post Obturation Pain Associated With Calcium Hydroxide-based Root Canal Sealers and Resin-based Root Canal Sealer: a Single Visit Root Canal Treatment

The objective of this study is to evaluate the post obturation pain associated with calcium hydroxide-based root canal sealer and resin-based root canal sealer after single visit root canal treatment following endodontic treatment by means of Visual Analog Scale. Methods: This study was designed as single blind, randomized control trial. Sixty patients with irreversible pulpitis requiring endodontic canal treatment were recruited by probability random sampling into two groups based on root canal sealer used during endodontic treatment: calcium hydroxide-based root canal sealer and resin-based root canal sealer . The post-operative pain of patients was recorded via a telephone call at 6 hours, 24 hours, and at 48hours on the visual analogue scale (VAS).
