Intra-canal medication containing silver nanoparticle versus calcium hydroxide in reducing postoperative pain: A randomized clinical trial

Activity Title	Intra-canal medication containing silver nanoparticle versus calcium hydroxide in reducing postoperative pain: A randomized clinical trial
Details	Pain in endodontic treatment is a major concern for patients and clinicians. Many factors can cause pain like bacteria, chemical mediators, change in cyclic mediators, change in periapical tissue pressure, and psychological factors. However, the presence of microorganisms as a result of failure to properly disinfect the canal is the most common cause of pain. Infected root canals contain a wide range of microorganisms, which may result in the production of enzymes and endotoxins resulting in persistence of pain. Calcium hydroxide is the most commonly used intra-canal medicament and is considered the gold standard. However, the ability of calcium hydroxide medication to completely eradicate bacterial species from the root canal has been questioned. Recently, nano-technology has attracted attention, especially those containing silvern Objectives Course Objective Pain of endodontic origin can be annoying for patients and endodontist. Pain relief is more important to the patient than treatment success. Numerous factors such as over instrumentation, over filling, debris extrusion can cause postoperative pain. However, bacteria found in the root canal space is the most important factor. Therefore mechanical preparation is an important step in elimination of micro-organisms from the root canal. It has been reported that micro-organisms can still survive inside the root canal even after mechanical preparation.
