Other Clinical Trial - Postoperative Pain Intensity After Pulpotomy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Introduction: This study aimed to compare postoperative pain rates following sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and KTP laser-assisted pulpotomy treatments in permanent teeth with deep caries, and symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Methods: Ninety patients complaining of permanent teeth pain due to symptomatic irreversible pulpitis were randomly divided into 3 equal groups. Preoperative pain levels were recorded. After the initial bleeding control was achieved with saline, complete hemostasis was achieved by applying saline (control group), 2.5% NaOCl, or KTP laser according to randomly determined patient groups. Patients were asked to mark their pain level on the visual pain scale at the 6th, 24th, 48th, and 72nd hours, and 7th and 30th days depending on the severity of the pain. The permanent restoration was completed after 7 days. Results: According to the present study, the statistical difference between the groups in terms of preoperative pain and percussion pain levels was insignificant. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of demographic data. The postoperative pain level of the KTP laser group was significantly lower at the 6th hour compared to the saline group. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of postoperative pain level at other time intervals. The greatest pain scores occurred in all groups at 6th hour. Conclusions: KTP laser can be preferred primarily in reducing postoperative pain in pulpotomy treatments. KTP laser or NaOCl assisted pulpotomy can be an effective treatment for pain reduction in permanent teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
