Abstract
INTRODUCTION The present study evaluated the effect of two different back pressure-based supplemental anesthesia on postoperative pain in patients receiving endodontic treatment for a mandibular molar with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. METHODS One-hundred-thirty-five adult patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpits in a mandibular first or second molar, received an initial inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) injection with 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 epinephrine. Ten minutes following the injection, access cavity preparation began. Lip numbness was a must for all patients. The Heft-Parker visual analogue scale (HP-VAS) was used to measure pain during endodontic therapy. Success of primary injections was defined as no or mild pain (less than 55 mm on HP-VAS) during access preparation. The patients with initial successful anesthesia served as control and received endodontic treatment. Ninety-five patients with unsuccessful primary anesthesia randomly received either intraligamentary injections of 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 epinephrine or intrapulpal injections with similar anesthetic solution. Endodontic treatment was re-initiated and canals were instrumented till working length under copious irrigation. Intracanal medicament of calcium hydroxide was placed and teeth received a temporary restoration. Postoperative pain was measured at 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 24 hours, and 3 days. Data were analyzed using the Pearson chi-square test, one-way analysis of variance, and one-way repeated measures analysis of variance. RESULTS The initial IANB was successful in 40 cases (out of 135). The intraligamentary injections were successful in 33 out of 47 cases (70%) and intrapulpal injections were successful in all cases (45/45). The patients receiving intraligamentary injections reported significantly higher pain scores at all intervals till 24 hours. After 3 days, the pain significantly reduced in all the groups with no significant difference between them. CONCLUSIONS Patients receiving supplementary intraligamentary injections can experience increased postoperative pain till 24 hours after the endodontic treatment. The pain scores reduced to the level of the control group after 3 days.

The efficacy of premixed bioceramic sealers versus standard sealers on root canal treatment outcome, extrusion rate and post-obturation pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Int Endod J 2024. [PMID: 38606520 DOI: 10.1111/iej.14069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited evidence is available regarding the superior clinical properties of bioceramic sealers comparted with traditional standard sealers. OBJECTIVES This review aimed to answer the following research questions: 'In healthy patients requiring a root canal treatment (P), what is the efficacy of premixed bioceramic sealers (I) compared with traditional root canal epoxy resin-based sealers (C) in terms of survival, success rates (PICO1) sealer extrusion and resorption (PICO2) post-obturation pain (PICO3) (O)?' METHODS Authors independently searched three electronic databases: PubMed (including MEDLINE), Web of Science, Embase and Scopus up to 31 October 2023. This was accompanied by both grey literature and manual search. Detailed selection criteria were applied, namely mature permanent teeth requiring root canal treatment, premixed bioceramic sealer with gutta-percha as an intervention group, a standard filling technique as control group and full-text available in English. A random-effect meta-analysis was used to synthesize the body of evidence regarding the use of bioceramic sealers in root canal treatment and their impact on post-obturation pain. Effect sizes were represented as relative risks on a logarithmic scale for binary outcomes and as mean differences for continuous outcomes. RESULTS A total of 941 articles were identified. Fifteen Comparative clinical studies were finally included. Eleven were randomized clinical trials, and four were prospective clinical trials with control group. The follow-up of these studies was not greater than 2 years. No publication bias was observed in any study. No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of survival and success rates. A small non-significant lower risk of extrusion was observed for bioceramics. A small, non-significantly lower post-operative-pain within 24-h was observed when bioceramics were used. DISCUSSION The majority of current evidence shows inconsistencies in reporting and is of short-term duration. Robust prospective long-term trials are needed in this area to better support future recommendations. CONCLUSION This systematic review is the first to analyse several clinical outcomes using premixed sealers. Included studies differed in terms of clinical protocol and operator expertise, but reported a similar outcome when comparing bioceramic versus standard sealers. Tooth survival, treatment outcome, post-operative pain and periapical extrusion were similar and presented no significant differences between the two sealer types.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to compare the postoperative pain level changes resulting from using calcium silicate- (EndoSeal MTA) and calcium hydroxide-based (Sealapex) root canal sealers in mandibular first and second molar teeth with symptomatic apical periodontitis. METHODS A total of 60 patients with symptomatic apical periodontitis in their lower molar teeth were randomly allocated into 2 groups according to sealer type (n = 30). Demographic data, including gender, age, and smoking habit, and preoperative pain measures were recorded. Root canal treatments were performed in a single visit. Postoperative pain measurements and analgesic intake were measured at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours and after 3, 5, and 7 days using the visual analog scale. The data were statistically analyzed using a chi-squared test (to compare gender, age, smoking habit, analgesic intake, and sealer extrusion), the Mann-Whitney U test (to compare pain levels), Friedman tests (for the evaluations of the reduction in pain levels over time), and Spearman's correlation test (to analyze the relationships of age, gender, smoking habit factors with postoperative pain) (P = .05). RESULTS The statistical analysis showed no significant differences between the groups in postoperative pain and analgesic intake at any of the time intervals evaluated (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Patients treated with calcium silicate- and calcium hydroxide-based root canal sealers experienced similar postoperative pain and no statistically significant differences were observed in analgesic intake.

Postoperative pain after root canal filling with bioceramic sealers: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials. Odontology 2023; 111:793-812. [PMID: 37378833 DOI: 10.1007/s10266-023-00830-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis (SRM) was to assess postoperative pain (PP) after endodontic treatment with bioceramic root canal sealer compared to AH Plus® sealer. This SRM was carried out in accordance with the items on the PRISMA 2020 checklist and Cochrane guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021259283). Only randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were included. Meta-analysis was conducted using R software, the standardized means difference (SMD) measure of effect was calculated for quantitative variables, and the odds ratio (OR) for binary variables. The Cochrane tool (RoB 2.0) was used to assess the risk of bias, and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used to assess the quality of evidence. Qualitative and quantitative analysis included 18 and 17 studies, respectively. For quantitative variables, the bioceramic root canal sealer presented less occurrence of postoperative pain than the AH Plus® sealer in 24 h (SMD - 0.17 [- 0.34; - 0.01], p = 0.0340). For binary variables, there was no difference observed between the sealers evaluated, except for sealer extrusion where the bioceramic group had lower post-filling material extrusion (OR 0.52 [0.32; 0.84], p = 0.007). Regarding the risk of bias analysis, low risk was observed for most domains, except allocation that was considered unclear, while the certainty of evidence ranged from moderate to low. The results showed that bioceramics sealers reduced postoperative endodontic pain only after 24 h and showed less sealer extrusion compared to the AH Plus® sealer. However, more robust and standardized clinical trials are needed to confirm the results with less heterogeneity and higher quality of evidence.

Outcomes of Endodontic-Treated Teeth Obturated with Bioceramic Sealers in Combination with Warm Gutta-Percha Obturation Techniques: A Prospective Clinical Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12082867. [PMID: 37109206 PMCID: PMC10143487 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12082867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2023] [Revised: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The objective of this clinical study was to collect short-term endodontic outcomes of endodontic-treated teeth (ETT) obturated with different kinds of bioceramic sealers used in combination with warm gutta-percha obturation techniques. Methods: A total of 210 endodontic treatments in 168 patients were performed. At baseline, 155 sample teeth (73.8%) showed symptoms (tenderness or pain to percussion) and 125 (59.5%) showed periapical radiolucency. Periapical radiolucency was present in 125 cases (59.5%); of these, 79 showed a lesion of 5 mm or bigger (63.2%) while lower than 5 mm in 46 cases (36.8%). Regarding ETT with radiolucency, 105 of them (84%) were in coincidence with their need for retreatment and the other 20 (16%) were necrotic teeth. The obturation techniques that were used in this study were: the continuous wave of condensation technique in 75% of cases, and carrier-based technique in 25%. Four bioceramic sealers were used: CeraSeal in 115 cases, BioRoot in 35 cases, AH Plus Bio in 40 cases, and in 20 cases, BIO-C SEALER ION. Preoperative and recall radiographs of the roots were each assigned a periapical index (PAI) score by 2 blinded, independent, and calibrated examiners. The teeth were divided into outcome categories based on the following classification: healed, unhealed, and healing. The healed and healing categories were classified as success, and the unhealed category was classified as failure on the basis of loose criteria. Minimum follow-up period was 18 months. Results: The overall success rate was 99%, with 73.3% healed, 25.7% healing, and 0.95% not healed. The success rate was 100% for initial treatment and 98.2% for retreatment. Fifty-four (N = 54) teeth showed ongoing healing. All of them were retreatment cases with periapical lesions. Regarding the success (healed and healing) versus not healed, no significant difference was found between teeth with or without periapical lesions (p < 0.05). A statistically significant difference in the distribution of healed, healing, and not-healed teeth was found between the groups of teeth with baseline lesions < 5 mm and >5 mm in diameter (p < 0.01) and those with sealer groups (p < 0.01). The success rate of used bioceramic sealers was not statistically significant different (99.1%, 100%, 97.5% and 100%, respectively, for CeraSeal, BioRoot, AH Plus Bio, and BIO-C SEALER ION). Nonetheless, the distribution of healed, healing, and not-healed teeth was different between teeth sealed with different materials (p < 0.01). From the findings of this clinical study, the following conclusion can be drawn: a correct filling of root canals made with warm gutta-percha technique combined with a bioceramic sealer allows a high success rate in endodontically treated teeth.

Abstract
AIM This randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate and compare the effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)-based bioceramic- and resin-based sealers on the incidence and intensity of post-obturation pain and treatment outcome in asymptomatic vital molar teeth in single-visit root canal treatment. METHODOLOGY One hundred asymptomatic mandibular molar teeth with vital pulp were randomly assigned into two groups according to the sealer used: MTA Fillapex or AH Plus sealer. WaveOne Gold instruments were used for root canal preparations. Root canals were obturated with WaveOne Gold gutta-percha cones corresponding in size and taper to the last instrument used. MTA Fillapex was used in the first group and AH Plus was used in the second group as the root canal sealer. The effects of age, gender, tooth types and the level of root canal filling on the treatment outcome were evaluated after 1 and 2 years. Postoperative pain at 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 h, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 30 days after root canal treatment was measured with the Numerical Rating Scale. Chi-square test was used for the treatment outcome and Mann-Whitney U, chi-Square and Spearman correlation analyses were used for postoperative pain. α = .05 was the level of significance. RESULTS Twelve patients did not complete the 2-year follow-up and the study finished with 88 patients. In the MTA Fillapex group 41 correct, one short, two extruded, and in the AH Plus group 40 correct, one short and three extruded root canal fillings were detected. No significant differences were observed between the first- and second-year treatment outcomes between the groups (p > .05).There was no association between age, gender, tooth number, root canal filling length and the treatment success in all evaluated teeth (p > .05). The differences between the groups in terms of postoperative pain incidence and intensity at all time-points were not significant (p > .05). There was no correlation between the age and postoperative pain (p > .05), but pain was statistically higher in women (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS Mineral trioxide aggregate Fillapex showed similar success rate and post-obturation pain incidence and intensity as AH Plus sealer and can be used as a root canal sealer in asymptomatic mandibular molars with irreversible pulpitis.
