Post-operative pain after root canal preparation with different apical finishing sizes a triple blinded split mouth clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This is a triple-blinded, prospective split-mouth clinical trial. It is important to shed light on the effect of different apical preparation sizes regarding postoperative pain within the same patient with the same pulpal histological status. The aim is to compare and evaluate the severity of postoperative pain following apical enlargement with two different sizes after the IBF using the visual analogue scale.

Methods

Fifty "teeth" in 25 patients were assigned into two equal groups (25 per group) using E3 Azure rotary files; Group A was prepared two sizes greater than the Initial binding file (IBF) (the largest K file to bind at the actual working length) mesial canals, which were enlarged to 35#/0.04 and 40#/0.04 for the distal canals. Group B was prepared in thr
