Human pulpectomy: incidence of postoperative pain using two different intracanal dressings.

A clinical study using vital maxillary central incisors was performed to evaluate the incidence of postoperative pain after pulpectomy and dressing with a corticosteroid-antibiotic preparation or a calcium-hydroxide paste. Sixty teeth from 45 patients were prepared and dressed on the first visit and re-evaluated 7 days later. No difference was observed in the incidence of postoperative pain between the two groups.

Perspectives on periradicular healing using Sealapex: a case report.

The use of the calcium hydroxide-containing root canal sealer, Sealapex, has been questioned regarding its predisposition to solubility and subsequent effect on the root canal seal and periradicular healing. This case report demonstrates, radiographically, dissolution of excess sealer in the periradicular tissues with subsequent osseous repair which was similar to healing in periradicular tissues where there was no extruded sealer.

One-appointment root canal treatment: incidence of postoperative pain using a modified double-flared technique.

A clinical study of maxillary central incisors was conducted in order to evaluate the incidence of postoperative pain following one-appointment root canal treatment using a modification of the double-flared technique to prepare the root canal system. Sixty teeth with necrotic pulps, from 52 patients whose ages ranged from 10 to 53 years, were included. Half of the teeth were prepared by the double-flared technique, while the other half were prepared by a modification of this technique. No difference was observed in the incidence of postoperative pain between the two groups.

A comparison of one versus two appointment endodontic therapy in teeth with non-vital pulps.

A clinical study using upper central incisors was carried out to evaluate the incidence of postoperative pain after root canal preparation by the double-flared technique. Sixty teeth with necrotic pulps from 48 patients whose ages ranged from 12 to 65 years were prepared and filled in either one or two appointments. No difference was observed in the incidence of postoperative pain between the two groups.
