Brief Summary  

Background: The concept of  instrumentation beyond the apical foramen i.e. maintaining apical patency(AP)  by a small flexible file to prevent blockage is a controversial issue in endodontics. However, maintaining patency might endow postoperative pain, thus the matter of dilemma is to maintain apical patency or not.

Aim: Aim of the study is to evaluate pain the association between apical patency and post-operative pain in posterior vital teeth with irreversible pulpitis. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the incidence and compare intensity of post-operative pain with and without maintaining apical patency in posterior vital teeth with irreversible pulpitis.

Materials and Methods: One hundred twelve patients were included in the study. Patients were randomly divided into: Group A (n = 56) contained apical patency maintaining group and Group B (n = 56) contained those treated without maintaining apical patency. Incidence of post-operative pain of patient was recorded on 1st day (24hrs), 2nd day (48hrs), and 7th day using Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the pain scores in both the groups on Day 1, Day 2 and Day 7. Pain intensity is maximum in Day 1 and least in Day 7.

Conclusion: Maintenance of apical patency during biomechanical preparation had no significant influence on post-operative pain in posterior teeth with vital pulps in irreversible pulpitis cases.
