Assessment of Postoperative Pain in Patients Obturated With Bioceramic and Calcium Hydroxide Sealers: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Status: Recruiting

Location: See location...

Intervention Type: Procedure

Study Type: Interventional

Study Phase: Not Applicable

SUMMARY

This study is designed to find out how different root canal sealers affect pain after root canal treatment. We are comparing two types of dental sealers: bioceramic sealer and calcium hydroxide sealer. Participants who need root canal treatment will receive one of these sealers as part of their standard dental care. After the procedure, they will be asked to report any pain they experience for a few days. The information from this study will help dentists choose sealers that may reduce post-treatment pain and improve patient comfort after root canal therapy.

Treatments

Experimental: Bioceramic Sealer Group

Participants in this group will receive root canal obturation using bioceramic (calcium silicate-based) sealer (CeraSeal) following standard endodontic procedures. After proper anesthesia and rubber dam isolation, the canals will be prepared, irrigated, and dried. A single-cone obturation technique will be used to place the sealer and gutta-percha. The cavities will be sealed with glass ionomer cement, and patients will record postoperative pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours.

Experimental: Calcium Hydroxide Sealer

Participants in this group will receive root canal obturation using calcium hydroxide-based sealer (Sealapex) following the same standard endodontic procedures as Arm 1. Postoperative pain will be measured using the VAS at 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours.
