To assess the Postoperative Pain after using Silver Nanoparticles with and without Calcium Hydroxide as an Intracanal Medication in Patients with necrotic pulp (RCT)
When the treatment itself appears to initiate the onset of pain and/or swelling, the result can be very distressing to both the patient and the operator. Patients might even consider postoperative pain and flare-up as a benchmark against which the clinician's skills are measured. Prevalence of postoperative pain or flare-up is, therefore, one of the influencing factors when making a clinical decision. Better management of postoperative pain increases the patients' confidence in dentist's skills and gives positive attitude toward dental profession. In cases with necrotic pulp, the incidence of pain becomes higher, hence testing which intracanal medication is more effective in decreasing the bacteria present within the root canal and subsequently pain is crucial.
