Abstract

Purpose: Postoperative pain is a common complication in endodontics contributed by multiple etiological factors, which consist canal preparation instruments and kinematics. The aim of this randomized clinical trial compare the postoperative pain in terms of intensity and incidence after the use of different nickel titanium (NiTi) file systems. Patients and methods: In this randomized clinical trial (NCT03791762), a total of 150 patients were root canal treated by 2 experienced endodontists according to a standardised protocol. The subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of the 3 groups according to preparation instrument used: ProTaper Next (Dentsply Sirona, Ballaigues, Switzerland), Reciproc Blue (VDW, Munich, Germany) and WaveOne Gold (Dentsply Sirona). Following preparation the teeth underwent standardized root canal treatment procedures in a single visit. The patients were contacted to gather information about the incidence of pain and intensity at 6th, 12th, 18th, 24th, 48th, and 72nd hours postoperatively. The data were analysed using chi-square, one-way analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey tests and logistic regression analysis with 5% significance threshold. Results: No significant difference was found among preparation groups in relation to the intensity of postoperative pain. The incidence of postoperative pain was significantly linked with the preoperative pain presence with odds ratio values ranging between 2.06 and 4.08 irrespective of the preparation technique (P<0.05). Conclusion: The effects of reciprocating and the continuous rotary systems on the intenstiy and incidence of postoperative pain were found to be similar.
