Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study were to determine which medium (normal saline or 2% chlorhexidine) is more efficient when mixed with calcium hydroxide in reduction of interappointment pain.

Material and Methods: Eighty subjects from Department of Operative and Endodontics, Sardar Begum Dental College were randomly divided into two groups; Group 1 had 40 subjects who received calcium hydroxide mixed with 2% Chlorhexidine while in group 2, the subjects received calcium hydroxide mixed with 0.9% normal saline after chemomechanical preparation.

Results: The mean pain experienced by the subjects was less in group 1 after 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours of the preparation. Conclusions: As intra canal dressing, combination of calcium hydroxide and chlorhexidine was more effective than that of calcium hydroxide and saline, in reducing interappointment pain.
