This prospective study aims to determine the incidence & the influence of factors affecting the post operative pain in vital teeth in patients receiving root canal treatment. METHODOLOGY: Three hundred and thirty three patients who underwent root canal treatment in vital teeth were assessed in this study. The root canal procedure was completed in a visit. A questionnaire assessed the factors like age, gender, tooth location, pre operative pain, main masticatory tooth and mishaps. The patients were asked to grade the pain postoperatively after 24 hrs, 48 hrs, 7 days and two weeks using a likert scale 0-4 point scale. RESULTS: Chi square tests was used to stastistically analyze the variables contributing to post obturation pain. Results showed that post obturation pain incidence was at 32.6%. CONCLUSIONS: Post operative pain incidence was at moderate levels, the pre operative ...

However, some patients may have moderate to severe pain following treatment. The aim of this study was to compare and assess the effect of ketorolac tromethamine on substance P expression in the pulp and periapical tissues when used as a root canal irrigant for single-visit root canal treatment in teeth with irreversible pulpitis. Thirtysix patients were randomly allotted to three irrigant groupssaline (n = 14), 3% sodium hypochlorite (n = 11) and ketorolac tromethamine (n = 11). Pulp blood samples (S1) were collected on gaining access to the pulp, and periapical blood samples (S2) were collected after root canal preparation. Quantification of substance P was done by ELISA test. The ketorolac tromethamine group had greater reduction in substance P expression (S2). Post-operative pain levels were not significantly influenced by the different root canal irrigants.
