Introduction
Successful endodontic procedure is depending on three dimen-
sional obturation of the canal along with absence of any patholo-
gy and post-operative pain. Pain is a complex, personal experience
and attempts to make valid assessments of it have been faced with
diffculties. The visual analogue scale (VAS) is widely used for
evaluating pain experience. The technique has also been benefcial
to consideration after anxiety, sleep, quality of life, breathlessness,
nausea, and attitudes concerning the environment [1]. Patients
typically complain of post-obturation pain after endodontic pro-
cedure. The pain severity can range from mild to severe, and it is
extensively described as occurring in fare-ups. The duration of
the pain can range from one day to few weeks and can be a main
cause of patient disappointment [2].
Postoperative pain after nonsurgical root canal treatment has been
described to range from approximately 3% to more than 50% [3].
Pain concern with root canal procedure is a poor presentation of
pathosis and an even more variable predictor of long-term suc-
cess [4].
One-appointment root canal treatment is usually considered to be
effcient, but the incidence of postoperative pain and long-term
healing continue unreturned. The majority of the investigation
Abstract
Introduction: Successful endodontic procedure is depending on three dimensional obturation of the canal along with ab-
sence of any pathology and post-operative pain. Endodontic procedure can be done as single of multi visit procedure.
Objectives: This study was done to compare post-obturation pain at single over multiple visit endodontic procedure.
Material and Method: One hundred participants were participated in the present study. The sample size was classifed into
two groups i.e Group-I with 50 subjects with single visit endodontic procedure and Group-II with 50 subjects underwent two
sitting endodontic procedure, who reported back with the VAS reporting form. Pain score was noted using a Heft- Parker
visual analogue scale (VAS) method. Each patient was allotted a value between 0 and 170 on the VAS scale. Statistical evalua-
tion was done using SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA version SPSS 21 using Chisquare test at p< 0.005
Results: There was no change in postoperative pain amongst participants treated in one appointment compared to those
treated in two appointments. Most of the patients in both groups presented no pain or only slight pain within 24 to 48 hours
of procedure.
Conclusion: Post-obturation pain after endodontic therapy was not uncommon after one day, second day but there was less
pain or no pain after seven days. Amongst the teeth with post-obturation pain, the single-visit group had lower-intensity pain,
after one day, two days and after seven days, than the multiple-visit group.
