Comparison of Obturation Quality and Lateral Canal Fill (by Sealer): Ultrasonic-Activated Versus Non-Ultrasonic Conventional Irrigation Techniques in Root Canal Treatment - A Randomized Controlled Trial

The main goal of clinical trail to compare obturation quality and lateral canal sealer fill between ultrasonic activated and conventional irrigation in root canal treatment. HYPOTHESIS There is a difference in obturation quality and lateral canal fill between ultrasonic activated irrigation results as compared to conventional irrigation technique in root canal treatment. Eligible patients will be recruited from the Endodontics Department at Peshawar Dental College who present with pain and sensitivity in mandibular teeth and are advised root canal treatment after clinical examination and X-ray. Patients will be screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria and informed written consent will be taken. This will be a double-blinded study, and demographic and tooth-related information will be recorded. Participants will be randomized into two groups using block randomization with a block size of six. The Non-Ultrasonic group will receive conventional irrigation using syringe, 3% sodium hypochlorite, and Tg sealer, while the Ultrasonic group will be irrigated using the VAT-3 ultrasonic activator with the same solution and sealer. Pre- and post-operative radiographs will be taken to evaluate obturation quality and lateral canal fill in terms of length, density, and taper using a standardized proforma.
