Abstract : Aim- This study aims to evaluate the effect of calcium hydroxide-based and MTA-based sealers on the post- obturation pain in single-visit root canal treatment -a VAS study.  Methodology- 24 patients with carious single rooted premolar teeth with vital pulp indicated for root canal therapy, were randomly divided into two groups according to the sealer used: calcium hydroxide-based and resin-based sealer. Neoendo flex rotary files were used for root canal preparations. Root canals were then obturated with gutta percha cones corresponding in size and taper to the last instrument used. Calcium hydroxide-based sealer was used in the first group and MTA-based sealer in the second group as the root canal sealer. Postoperative pain at 4hrs, 24 hrs and 1 week after root canal treatment was recorded with the use of Visual analogue (VAS) scale. Statistical analysis was then caried out.  Result and Conclusion: There was no significant difference found in between the two groups. Thus, concluding that the effect of calcium hydroxide-based and MTA-based sealers on post- obturation pain in single-visit root canal treatment was similar when compared.

Keywords : Calcium Hydroxide-based Sealer, MTA-based Sealer, Post-Obturation Pain, Single-Visit Root Canal Treatment, VAS.
