Effect of Cryotherapy on Postoperative Pain in Vital Pulp Treatment of Molar Teeth

The goal of this clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of cryotherapy with salin solution on the intensity of postoperative pain after total pulpotomy procedures in molar teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. The main question it aims to answer is:

- Does controlled irrigation with cold saline in total pulpotomy reduce the severity of postoperative pain? In the cryotherapy group, unlike the control group, after hemostasis was achieved, the coronal pulp cavity was irrigated with 2 °C saline solution for 5 minutes.

Treatment and study plan

Cryotherapy

Other

The pulpotomy area was irrigated with 2 °C saline solution for 5 minutes in cryotherapy group.

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual Analogue Scale

    Time frame: up to 72 hours

    The visual analog scale for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain (0) and the other end meaning the worst pain (10) imaginable. A patient marks a point on the line that matches the amount of pain he or she feels. It may be used to help choose the right dose of pain medicine. Also called VAS.
