Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  AH Plus (Dentsply Sirona)  It is a two paste system. Paste A: Epoxy resin, calcium tungstate, zirconium oxide, silica, iron oxide. Paste B: Amines, calcium tungstate, zirconium oxide, silica, silicon oil. Sealer will be manipulated as per the manufacturer’s instructions, carried into the root canal coated on a gutta percha point and applied onto the root canal walls in an anticlockwise motion. This application shall be repeated three times. Obturation will be completed by cold lateral condensation and post endodontic composite restoration will be placed. Intraoral periapical radiograph will be taken to ensure quality of the obturation and to identify presence or absence of extrusion of sealer. Post-operative pain evaluation will be done after 24hrs, 72hrs and 7 days.  
Intervention  BioRoot RCS (Septodont, India)  It has two components. Powder - Tricalcium silicate, zirconium oxide, povidone. Liquid - Aqueous solution of Calcium Chloride and Polycarboxylate. Sealer will be manipulated as per the manufacturer’s instructions, carried into the root canal coated on a gutta percha point and applied onto the root canal walls in an anticlockwise motion. This application shall be repeated three times. Obturation will be completed by cold lateral condensation and post endodontic composite restoration will be placed. Intraoral periapical radiograph will be taken to ensure quality of the obturation and to identify presence or absence of extrusion of sealer. Post-operative pain evaluation will be done after 24hrs, 72hrs and 7 days.  
Intervention  Nishika Canal Sealer BG (Bioactive Glass) (Nippon Shika Yakuhin, Japan)  It is a two-paste system. Paste A - Fatty Acids, Bismuth sub-carbonate, silicon dioxide. Paste B - Magnesium oxide, Purified water, Calcium silicate glass, silicon dioxide, others. Sealer will be manipulated as per the manufacturer’s instructions, carried into the root canal coated on a gutta percha point and applied onto the root canal walls in an anticlockwise motion. This application shall be repeated three times. Obturation will be completed by cold lateral condensation and post endodontic composite restoration will be placed. Intraoral periapical radiograph will be taken to ensure quality of the obturation and to identify presence or absence of extrusion of sealer. Post-operative pain evaluation will be done after 24hrs, 72hrs and 7 days.  
Comparator Agent  Tubliseal (Kerr Endodontics)  It has two components. Base - Zinc oxide (60-100%), White Mineral Oil (Petroleum) (5-30%), Barium Sulfate (5-30%), Starch (1-5%). Accelerator - Eugenol (30-60%), Thymol iodide (5-30%). Sealer will be manipulated as per the manufacturer’s instructions, carried into the root canal coated on a gutta percha point and applied onto the root canal walls in an anticlockwise motion. This application shall be repeated three times. Obturation will be completed by cold lateral condensation and post endodontic composite restoration will be placed. Intraoral periapical radiograph will be taken to ensure quality of the obturation and to identify presence or absence of extrusion of sealer. Post-operative pain evaluation will be done after 24hrs, 72hrs and 7 days.

Brief Summary  

Postoperative pain is an unwanted yet unfortunately a common sensation after endodontic treatment. The incidence of postoperative pain has been reported to range from 3% to 58%. There is no single factor affecting pain after root canal treatment and it may be due to mechanical, chemical and/or microbial injury to the pulp or peri-radicular tissues, further irrigating solutions, medications and sealers can evoke pain by irritating the periradicular tissues. Any intracanal sealer that has a reduced the risk of extrusion into periapical tissues would help the patient and the clinician because such a root canal sealer could decrease postoperative discomfort. Thus, the present clinical trial aims to comparatively evaluate four different root canal sealers (Tubliseal, AH Plus, BioRoot RCS and Nishika Canal Sealer BG) on causing post operative pain in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis or apical periodontitis following root canal therapy. A total of 100 patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled for the clinical trial and four different sealers will be used belonging to four different compositions. These will be manipulated as per the manufacturer’s instructions, carried into the root canal coated on a gutta percha point and applied onto the root canal walls in an anticlockwise motion. This application shall be repeated three times.
