Randomized Controlled Trial
Evaluation of postoperative pain intensity following occlusal reduction in teeth associated with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and symptomatic apical periodontitis: a randomized clinical study.
To assess the effect of occlusal reduction on postoperative pain following two visits root canal treatment in posterior mandibular teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and symptomatic apical periodontitis in a randomized clinical trial. ⋯ Occlusal reduction reduced levels of postoperative pain in posterior mandibular teeth with symptomatic pulpitis and apical periodontitis only 12 h following both canal preparation and root filling.
