Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of submucosal single doses of dexamethasone and triamcinolone acetonide on postoperative pain after single visit root canal treatment of teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Thirty patients were selected and allocated in three groups. Group I  received saline (control), Group II  received dexamethasone (8mg) and Group III  received triamcinolone acetonide (40mg) before endodontic treatment is initiated. Root canal treatment was performed in a single appointment for all the participants. Post-operative pain was assessed using Heft-Parker visual analogue scale (HP VAS). The results showed that Preoperative doses of corticosteroids resulted in a decrease of post endodontic pain following single visit root canal treatment of teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis
