Brief Summary  

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of calcium hydroxide used as an intracanal medicament with aqueous and viscous based vehicles on postoperative pain and healing outcomes in patients diagnosed with pulpal necrosis and symptomatic apical periodontitis.

Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with a sample of patients presenting with pulpal necrosis and symptomatic apical periodontitis. The participants were divided into two groups: one receiving calcium hydroxide with an aqueous vehicle and the other with a viscous vehicle. The medicament was applied during root canal treatment. Postoperative pain levels and healing outcomes were assessed using pain scales and radiographic examination, respectively.

Results: Both groups demonstrated effective delivery of calcium hydroxide to the affected area. Postoperative pain levels significantly decreased in both groups compared to baseline, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Radiographic examination revealed comparable periapical healing outcomes in both groups.

Conclusion: Calcium hydroxide used as an intracanal medicament with aqueous and viscous based vehicles showed similar efficacy in reducing postoperative pain and promoting healing in patients with pulpal necrosis and symptomatic apical periodontitis. The choice of vehicle can be based on clinical preference. Further research is needed to explore additional factors influencing postoperative pain and healing outcomes.
