Evaluation of Postoperative Pain Frequency in Single-Session Endodontic Treatments With Patency and Foraminal Enlargement.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of postoperative pain in single-session endodontic treatments with foraminal instrumentation, considering factors such as pulpal diagnosis, tooth position, type of endodontic sealer, and sealer extrusion.

Materials and methods

Treatments were performed on 153 teeth of patients aged 12-80 years diagnosed with asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis or asymptomatic pulpal necrosis with or without periapical lesions. The obturation sealers used were AH Plus, Endomethasone-N, and Sealer Plus. Postoperative pain intensity was recorded by patients using a modified numerical rating scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain).

Results

No statistically significant differences in pain scores were found at 12, 24, or 4
