Official Title: Comparison of Postoperative Pain After Root Canal Instrumentation Using Reciproc and ProTaper Next in Asymptomatic Necrotic Molars: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Brief Summary: Comparing the postoperative pain resulting after mechanical instrumentation using Reciproc reciprocating files versus that resulting after using ProTaper Next rotary files in asymptomatic necrotic molars.

Detailed Summary: Asymptomatic Necrotic molars are selected according to the eligibility and exclusion criteria and patients are then randomized to receive treatment either using Reciproc Files or ProTaper Next files. Postoperative pain is then assessed using the Numerical Rating scale 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post-instrumentation. The tooth is then temporized and after 1 week obturation is then and post obturation pain is assessed using the Numerical Rating scale after 12 and 24 hours following obturation. The time required to complete instrumentation is also measured and compared using the two files.

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Post operative pain assessed with the Numerical Rating Pain Scale [ Time Frame: Up to 48 hours post-instrumentation ]
    1 to 10 Numerical Rating Pain Scale up to 48 hours post-instrumentation
  • Post-obturation pain assessed with the Numerical Rating Pain Scale [ Time Frame: up to 24 hours following obturation ]
    1 to 10 Numerical Rating Pain Scale up to 24 hours following obturation


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Time required to complete instrumentation [ Time Frame: From the completion of the access cavity preparation till the end of cleaning and shaping procedure up to 2 hours ]

time required to complete instrumentation


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
