Comparison of Post Operative Endodontic Pain in Patients With Irreversible Pulpitis Treated With and Without Dexamethasone.
Sponsor: Shoaib Rahim
Summary
Root canal procedure is a common procedure in dentistry. Acute inflammatory response in peri-radicular tissues after root canal treatment is the main cause of post op pain. Potential Solution: The current study will assess effect of dexamethasone administered as periapical infiltration in reducing post-instrumentation pain. Research Goal: Pain score of patients treated with dexamethasone infiltration will be less compared to patients treated with NSAIDS alone after canal instrumentation.
