Cryotherapy and pain intensity during endodontic treatment of mandibular first permanent molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis: A randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsThe
cryotherapy application boosted the efficacy of pulpal anesthesia of
the mandibular first permanent molars with SIP in patients below the age
of 18 years. Additional anesthesia was still necessary for optimal
control over pain.Clinical relevancePain
control during endodontic treatment of primary molars with irreversible
pulpitis (IP) is a significant factor in a child ’s behavior in the
dental office. Although the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) is the
most commonly used technique to anaesthetize mandibular dentition, we
found its success rate to be relatively low during endodontic treatment
of primary molars with IP. Cryotherapy is a new approach that
significantly improves the efficacy of IANB.Clinical trial registrationThe trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (reference no. NCT05267847).
