Article Abstract
This prospective experimental study evaluated the efficacy of intracanal cryotherapy in reducing postoperative pain in patients with symptomatic apical periodontitis. Ninety participants with necrotic pulp and preoperative pain (VAS ≥ 7) were randomised into two groups: Group A received room-temperature saline irrigation, while Group B received cryotreated saline (2.5°C) as the final irrigant. Pain was assessed preoperatively, at 24 h, and 48 h post-treatment using the Visual Analogue Scale. Results demonstrated significantly lower pain scores in the cryotherapy group at 24 h (p = 0.010) and 48 h (p < 0.001), with reduced analgesic use. Cryotherapy effectively mitigates post-operative pain in symptomatic apical periodontitis, offering a non-invasive adjunct to standard endodontic therapy.

Objectives: This randomized controlled clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effect of intracanal cryotherapy using cold saline (2.5 °C) as a final irrigant on postoperative pain and analgesic consumption following single-visit nonsurgical endodontic retreatment of asymptomatic mandibular premolars.
Materials And Methods: Sixty systemically healthy patients with asymptomatic apical periodontitis in previously treated single-rooted mandibular premolars were enrolled and randomly assigned to two groups ( = 30 each).

Modern dentistry and endodontic practice is based on effective pain management, which highlights the necessity of a thorough, multifaceted framework to address both acute and chronic pain. In endodontic applications, this narrative review examines pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and integrative approaches for the regulation and reduction of pain sensations by synthesizing data from a variety of investigations. Apart from pharmaceutical treatments like corticosteroids, clonidine-enhanced local anesthetics, and innovative methods that target peripheral and central pain pathways, significant developments include the use of intracanal cryotherapy, low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and photobiomodulation.
