Post-operative Pain Following Glide Path Preparation Using Rotary Neoniti GPS File and Manual K-files

Cairo University30 enrolled

Overview

The aim of this study is to clinically compare the incidence of post-operative pain after using rotary glide path file (Neoniti GPS), on post-operative pain when compared to manual glide path preparation in lower molars with asymptomatic non-vital pulp.

Interventions

Rotary Neoniti GPS fileOTHER

Glide path creation will be achieved using Neoniti GPS file (15/.03). The file will be introduced passively inside the canal, in continuous rotation at a constant speed between 300 and 500 rpm and torque of 1.5 N.

Manual stainless steel K-filesOTHER

Glide path preparation will be done by hand instrumentation using K-files #10 and 15.
