ABSTRACT

The number of visits to root canal treatment is still controversial especially on postoperative pain in molars. Therefore, it is of interest to compare pain outcome of single-visit and multiple-visit root canal treatments in 120 cases of molar root of a tooth. The intensity of pain was measured throughout 7 days with the help of the Visual Analog Scale, analgesic use and treatment success was also measured. Single-visit cases depicted a small difference in pain at 6 hours, but not after and the same level of success at 6 months. Single and multiple visit treatment offer similar postoperative comfort and superior clinical outcomes.

Hippocampus mediates conceptual generalization of pain modulation

ArXiv [Preprint]. 2026 Mar 17:arXiv:2603.16288v1.ABSTRACTPain is strongly influenced by expectations and learning from previous experience, such as in classical conditioning. Conditioned responses and expectations can generalize to perceptually and conceptually related cues, but how generalization influences pain experience and the neurobiological processing of pain remains unclear. We used fMRI a

Postoperative pain management: Comparison of intravenous paracetamol versus ketorolac

Therefore, it is of interest to compare the analgesic efficacy of intravenous paracetamol and intravenous ketorolac in 60 patients undergoing elective s
