文摘

The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of root canal treatment using either Thermafil (TF; Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) or the cold lateral condensation (CLC) obturation technique in teeth with periapical lesions and to investigate the influence on postoperative pain and treatment outcomes.

Methods

After standardized root canal preparation technique, 112 teeth were obturated with either the TF or the CLC technique during 2 sessions by single operator. Postoperative pain, obturation length, and treatment outcomes were recorded. The teeth were reviewed clinically and radiographically for 2 years.

Results

Although there were no significant differences between the techniques in the incidence of postoperative pain at 24 hours (P > .05), the incidence of pain was significantly higher in the TF group than in the CLC group at 48 hours (P < .05). During the 2-year follow-up period, there was no statistically significant difference in the success rate of the teeth treated with TF (96.4%) in comparison with those treated with CLC (98.2%) (P > .05).

Conclusions

In this study, the outcome of the root canal treatment of teeth using the TF and CLC techniques revealed that these techniques are useful for root canal obturation.
