Abstract
Pulp status in permanent teeth and post endodontic pain (PEP) has not been assessed properly in pediatric patients. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the prevalence, severity of PEP in permanent teeth after root canal therapy and retreatment in paediatric patients. Hence, 127 pediatric patients who had root canal therapy (RCT) for permanent teeth with necrotic pulp, vital pulporendodonticre treatment were considered. Assessment of incidence intensity of PEP at 6 hours and 18 hours after therapy was completed. The incidence and intensity of PEP in permanent teeth in paediatric patients was greater in teeth with vital pulp. It was low in teeth with necrotic pulp. The incidence of spontaneous PEP was greater in all treatment groups as compared to stimulated PEP at 6 hours after treatment. Thus, root canal therapy of teeth with viable pulp produced a noticeably greater incidence and intensity of PEP in permanent teeth in paediatric patients.
