@entity1 @entity2708 @entity2651 @entity158 @entity282 @entity10193
OBJECTIVE: To assess @entity282 in endodontic therapy and its association with clinical factors such as gender, age, tooth type, pulpal diagnosis, and @entity158 , @entity10193 and sealer extrusion. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-Sectional study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: Dental section of the Aga khan university hospital, Karachi, Pakistan from January to December 2009. METHODOLOGY: One hundred and forty @entity1 (140) requiring endodontic therapy for @entity2651 were included in this study. Local Anesthesia (2% Lidocain with 1:80,000 Epinephrine) was administered. The tooth was isolated with rubber dam. Access cavity was prepared with the help of round carbide No. 2 bur. Canal preparation was completed using crown-down technique. Access was sealed with sterile dry @entity2708 pallet and restored temporarily with double layer of Glass ionomer cement and Cavit. After one week @entity1 were recalled and access was re-opened, obturation was done using cold lateral condensation technique. Ca(OH)(2) based sealer was used. Postoperative radiographs were taken. @entity1 were recalled after 24 hours and @entity158 was recorded using Visual analogue scale (VAS).Data was obtained on a structured Performa.   (2) test was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: @entity158 was present in 42.9% of @entity1 . Females more frequently experienced @entity158 (65%) than males (35%). @entity158 was found to be significantly associated with @entity282 (p value < 0.001). Obturation length was not found to be significantly associated with @entity282 (p value 1.0). Sealer extrusion was not found to be significantly associated with postoperative (P value 0.547).
