# Comparative evaluation of post-operative pain following single vs. multiple visit pulpectomy: A clinical assessment

## TL;DR

This study compares post-operative pain in children undergoing single-visit versus multiple-visit pulpectomy, finding that single-visit procedures result in less pain.

## Contribution

The study provides new evidence that single-visit pulpectomy reduces post-operative pain more effectively in children.

## Key findings

- Single-visit pulpectomy resulted in significantly lower pain levels compared to multiple-visit procedures.
- Pain was consistently lower in the single-visit group at all measured time points (6, 24, 48, and 72 hours).

## Abstract

Post-operative pain between single-visit and multiple-visit pulpectomy in 50 children (ages 6-10 years) with irreversible pulpitis is
compared. Participants were divided into two groups-Group A (single-visit) and Group B (multiple-visit) and pain was assessed using a
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 6, 24, 48 and 72-hours post-operative. Group A consistently reported significantly lower pain levels
(P < 0.05) than Group B. Thus, single-visit pulpectomy reduces post-operative pain more effectively thereby enhancing patient comfort
and satisfaction.
