Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Dual rinse HEDP  Dual rinse HEDP is used as continuous chelation that can be used as a single solution mixed with sodium hypochlorite in root canal treatment. It helps softens and dissolve the dentine and remove the smear layer. Hence it decreases the working time. 
Comparator Agent  EDTA 17%  Chelating agents are used in endodontics to prepare root canals for treatment. They help to soften and dissolve the dentine in the root canal, and remove the smear layer.

Brief Summary  

This study compares two different irrigation protocols in root canal treatment to assess their effectiveness in irrigant penetration and post-operative pain:

Patient selection:

Patients are diagnosed and randomly divided into two groups:

Group 1: Sequential chelation with 2.5% NaOCl and 17% EDTA.

Group 2:  Continuous chelation with 9% HEDP + 2.5% NaOCl.

Root canal procedure:

Patients are anesthetized, isolated with a rubber dam, and canals are accessed and prepared with ProTaper Next instruments.

Both groups receive irrigation after each file: Group 1 with NaOCl and EDTA, Group 2 with NaOCl and HEDP.

Final irrigation steps differ between groups, with Group 1 using NaOCl and EDTA, and Group 2 using HEDP + NaOCl and saline.

Irrigant penetration evaluation:

After final irrigation, 1 ml of radio-opaque dye is injected into the canal and a radiograph is taken to evaluate the irrigant penetration.

Post-operative procedure:

After drying the canals, the tooth is temporarily sealed, and patients return for obturation and post-operative restoration.

Pain evaluation:

Post-operative pain is recorded at 6, 24, and 48 hours using the NRS pain scale. If pain persists, patients are prescribed an escape drug and excluded from the study.

This study aims to determine which irrigation method provides better irrigant penetration and reduces post-operative pain.
