Abstract
This prospective experimental study evaluated the efficacy of intracanal cryotherapy in reducing postoperative pain in patients with symptomatic apical periodontitis. Ninety participants with necrotic pulp and preoperative pain (VAS ≥ 7) were randomised into two groups: Group A received room-temperature saline irrigation, while Group B received cryotreated saline (2.5°C) as the final irrigant. Pain was assessed preoperatively, at 24 h, and 48 h post-treatment using the Visual Analogue Scale. Results demonstrated significantly lower pain scores in the cryotherapy group at 24 h (p = 0.010) and 48 h (p < 0.001), with reduced analgesic use. Cryotherapy effectively mitigates post-operative pain in symptomatic apical periodontitis, offering a non-invasive adjunct to standard endodontic therapy.
本前瞻性实验研究评估了管内冷冻治疗对减轻症状性根尖牙周炎患者术后疼痛的疗效。90例牙髓坏死和术前疼痛（VAS≥7）的参与者随机分为两组：A组接受室温盐水冲洗，B组接受冷冻盐水（2.5°C）作为最终冲洗剂。术前、治疗后24小时和48小时用视觉模拟评分法评估疼痛。结果显示，冷冻治疗组在24 h （p = 0.010）和48 h （p = 0.010）疼痛评分明显降低
期刊介绍：
The Australian Endodontic Journal provides a forum for communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for all specialists and dentists with an interest in the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human tooth, in particular the dental pulp, root and peri-radicular tissues.
The Journal features regular clinical updates, research reports and case reports from authors worldwide, and also publishes meeting abstracts, society news and historical endodontic glimpses.
The Australian Endodontic Journal is a publication for dentists in general and specialist practice devoted solely to endodontics. It aims to promote communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for those dentists who have a special interest in endodontics.
