Evaluation of the Relationship Between Eye Color and Post-Operative Pain in Female Patients Experiencing Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis in A Mandibular Molar: A Prospective, Parallel-Group, Observational Clinical Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Root canal therapy for Post-operative Pain and Irreversible Pulpitis. Completed, enrolled 110 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Current evidence indicates that some phenotypic characteristics, such as eye or hair color, might be associated with the experience of pain. We therefore compared the anaesthetic success rate of inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB), and post-operative pain scores between light and dark eyed in female patients experiencing symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) in a mandibular molar. 110 adult patients, experiencing moderate or severe pain with SIP, participated in this prospective study. All patients received IANB of 4% articaine with 1:100.000 epinephrine. Endodontic access cavity preparation was initiated after confirmed of IANB with numbness of the lower lip. Pain during treatment was recorded by using a Heft Parker Visual Analog Scale. Anaesthetic success was recorded as ''none'' or ''mild'' pain. Root canal treatment was performed, with standardized protocols. Post-operative pain scores were also recorded 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after treatment.
