Evaluation of the Effect of Salivary Melatonin Levels on Postoperative Pain and Sleep Quality Following Endodontic Treatments Performed at Different Days and Times
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
root canal treatment: Standardized root canal treatment performed on asymptomatic mandibular molars. Procedures include local anesthesia, rubber dam isolation, access cavity preparation, cleaning and shaping with rotary instruments, irrigation with NaOCl and EDTA, and obturation using a standardized protocol. Saliva samples are collected prior to treatment for melatonin analysis. Postoperative pain and sleep quality are assessed using validated questionnaires.
Study summary
This clinical study aims to evaluate the effect of salivary melatonin levels on postoperative pain and sleep quality in patients undergoing root canal treatment at different times of the day. Each participant will receive endodontic treatment on two asymptomatic mandibular molars, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Pain intensity and sleep quality will be assessed using standard questionnaires, and salivary melatonin levels will be analyzed.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Postoperative pain intensity — Within 7 days after each root canal treatment session
Pain intensity will be assessed using a 10-cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), where 0 represents "no pain" and 10 represents "worst pain imaginable." Participants will record their pain levels following root canal treatment sessions performed in the morning and afternoon.
