Abstract
This study aimed to compare patients' perception of postoperative pain following single- and multiple-visit endodontic therapy, and to evaluate associations between anxiety and genetic polymorphisms in the DRD2, ANKK1 and COMT genes. In this clinical trial, 67 patients were included in the first phase (34 single visit, 33 multiple visits), and 25 participated in the second phase. Saliva was collected for genetic analysis, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was applied preoperatively. Postoperative pain (presence and intensity) was recorded at 24, 48 and 72 h. The number of visits was not associated with postoperative pain (p = 0.806); pain intensity was highest at 24 h in both groups (p < 0.001). Moderate anxiety was significantly associated (p < 0.05) with pain in single- and multiple-visit. A genetic association was observed between the COMT rs174675 polymorphism and the outcome (p = 0.018), with greater pain reported by individuals with the CT genotype. (#RBR-47ngbg3).
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.
