Ultrasonic Activated Irrigation and Intracanal Cryotherapy for Reducing Pain After Root Canal Treatment
Sponsor: Dr Arsalan Ali Khan
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of ultrasonic activated irrigation with and without intracanal cryotherapy on postoperative pain following single-visit root canal treatment in teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Participants requiring root canal treatment will be randomly allocated into two groups. One group will receive ultrasonic activated irrigation alone, while the other group will receive ultrasonic activated irrigation followed by intracanal cryotherapy. Postoperative pain will be assessed at predetermined time intervals using a standardized pain assessment scale. The findings of this study may help identify effective strategies for reducing postoperative pain after root canal treatment and improving patient comfort and treatment outcomes.

Interventions
Ultrasonic Activated Irrigation
Ultrasonic activation of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite was performed for one minute per canal, 1 mm short of the working length, during single-visit root canal treatment to enhance irrigant penetration and canal debridement.
Intracanal cryotherapy
Intracanal cryotherapy was performed by delivering 10 mL of cold 0.9% saline (1.5-2.5°C) passively 1 mm short of the working length over 5 minutes as the final irrigation step during single-visit root canal treatment.
