Periodontitis Clinical Trials

This study aims to compare the effect of calcium-based bioceramic sealer and resin-based sealer on postoperative pain in adult patients with asymptomatic apical periodontitis undergoing root canal treatment. Asymptomatic apical periodontitis is a condition where the tissue around the tip of the tooth root is inflamed or shows a lesion on X-ray, but the patient does not experience pain. A total of 60 patients will be randomly assigned to receive root canal treatment with either the bioceramic sealer (Group A) or the resin-based sealer (Group B). Pain after treatment will be measured using a 0-10 Numeric Pain Rating Scale at 4, 24, and 48 hours post-treatment. The highest pain score reported will determine whether the treatment is considered a success (no or mild/moderate pain) or failure (severe pain). The results of this study will provide evidence on which sealer is associated with less postoperative pain, helping clinicians make informed decisions about root canal filling materials.
