Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of calcium hydroxide and triple antibiotic paste as intracanal
medication on the interappointment pain at 8, 24, and 48 hours postoperatively in patients with symptomatic
apical periodontitis undergoing multiple visit root canal treatment. Material and Methods: Two hundred and
seven systemically healthy patients under the age group of 18-45 years with mandibular molars presenting with
symptomatic apical periodontitis which require root canal treatments were included in this study. After access
cavity preparation, cleaning and shaping was done till ISO 25 size file, and the patients were randomized into
three groups (each group of 69 samples). Group I: no medicament, group II: calcium hydroxide and group III:
triple antibiotic paste (TAP). Postoperative pain was evaluated at 8 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours. Results:
The results showed that at 8 hours, 24hours and 48hours, there was a statistical difference between I and III
(p < 0.05); and Group III and Group II (p < 0.05). Within the group, there was a statistical difference at all
time points IN Group I and II (p < 0.05) except between 24 hours and 48 hours in the Group III (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, TAP was more effective than calcium hydroxide in relieving
pain and reducing the analgesic intake at the first 24hours.
