摘要
Objective: This study evaluated the postoperative pain intensity in permanent teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis treated by pulpotomy using physiological saline, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), or the potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser. Materials and methods: Ninety patients diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in permanent molars were randomly divided into three groups according to the pulpotomy procedures. Preoperative pain levels were recorded. Complete hemostasis was achieved with physiological saline (control group), NaOCl, or the KTP laser after initial bleeding control. Patients were asked to mark their pain level on the visual pain scale at 6, 24, 48, and 72 h and 7 and 30 days depending on the severity of pain. The permanent restoration was completed after 7 days. Data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, Friedman, and Bonferroni tests at a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: According to the present study, the statistical difference between the groups in terms of preoperative pain and percussion pain levels was insignificant (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference between groups in terms of demographic data (p > 0.05). The postoperative pain level of the KTP laser group was significantly lower at 6 h compared with the saline group (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between groups in terms of the postoperative pain level at other time intervals (p > 0.05). The highest pain scores were observed in all groups at 6 h (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The KTP laser can be preferred primarily for reducing postoperative pain in pulpotomy treatments. The KTP laser or NaOCl-assisted pulpotomy can be an effective treatment for pain reduction in permanent teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. This report is registered at clinicaltrials.gov (ID: NCT05424796).
