Impact of Intracanal Cryotherapy and Corticosteroids on Post Endodontic Pain

Overview

The aim of the study: is to evaluate efficiency of using either intracanal corticosteroids or intracanal cryotherapy as a final flush irrigation on post endodontic pain in lower molar teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. The materials and methods: In this study forty patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in lower molar teeth with pain level of 4 or higher on the visual analogue scale (VAS) will be selected.

This study will involve 40 adult patients (18-60 years) for both genders equally .all of patients must provide written informed consent and commit to the full trial period. Eligible participants must present with a lower molar diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, characterized by moderate-to-severe preoperative pain (VAS score ≥ 4) that lingers after stimulus removal. Conversely, the study excludes vulnerable groups (e.g., pregnant or mentally ill), medically compromised individuals, and those who have taken analgesics or antibiotics. Specific dental exclusions include teeth with open apices, calcified canals, prior endodontic treatment, or periodontally affected tooth
