Trial summary

All patients will be treated in a single session approach regardless of the group. All molars will be anesthetized either through infiltration in case of maxillary molars or inferior alveolar nerve block in case of mandibular molars using Octocaine 2% with epinephrine 1: 100,000 (Lidocaine HCl, Novocol Pharmaceutical… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Manual Glide Path Versus Mechanical Glide Path Establishment on Endodontic Postoperative Pain. A Randomized Clinical Trial

All patients will be treated in a single session approach regardless of the group. All molars will be anesthetized either through infiltration in case of maxillary molars or inferior alveolar nerve block in case of mandibular molars using Octocaine 2% with epinephrine 1: 100,000 (Lidocaine HCl, Novocol Pharmaceutical, Ontario, Canada.). Rubber dam will be applied; and access will be opened using Endo access bur.

In group A manual glide path will be established using manual thermal treated stainless-steel files in a watch winding maneuver. In group B glide path will be established using rotary Ni-Ti files in a reciprocating maneuver. Coronal flaring will be performed using Gates Glidden drill #3 in a brushing motion away from dangerous zone. Root canals will be copiously irrigated using 10 ml 2.5% sodium hypochlorite NaOCl (Clorox; Egyptian Company for household bleach, Egypt) delivered using 28 Gauge safety Steri Irrigation Tip (DiaDent Group International, Burnaby, BC, Canada) inserted 3 mm below cementoenamel junction. Working length will be determined using electronic apex locator Root ZX II (J. Morita Mfg. Corp, Kyoto, Japan) and confirmed radiographically using parallel technique with receptor holding device. Canals were irrigated again with 10ml 1.5% NaOCl, which was delivered 2mm coronal to apical canal terminus. Irrigation was hydro-dynamically agitated with EndoActivator device (Dentsply Maillefer, Baillagues, Switzerland) using blue tips #30/06 inserted 2mm short of working length for 60 seconds.

Root canals will be shaped using ProTaper next rotary Ni-Ti files (Dentsply Maillefer, Baillagues, Switzerland). Finally, Root canals will be obturated using cold lateral compaction technique. The molars will be permanently restored using composite resin restoration and will be scheduled for extra coronal restoration.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Manual glide pathProcedure or surgery

    manual glide path will be established using manual thermal treated stainless-steel files in a watch winding maneuver. . Coronal flaring will be performed using Gates Glidden drill #3 in a brushing motion away from dangerous zone.

  • Mechanical glide pathProcedure or surgery

    glide path will be established using rotary Ni-Ti files in a reciprocating maneuver. Coronal flaring will be performed using Gates Glidden drill #3 in a brushing motion away from dangerous zone.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Manual glide path and Mechanical glide path in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Cairo University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Heba A ElAsfouri, AssProfessor (+201005276232, heba.elasfouri@dentistry.cu.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

postoperative pain (time frame: after 4 hours after root canal treatment). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05206214, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jan 2022.
