Abstract

Aim: The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate postoperative pain in the single-file system with continuous rotary and reciprocating instrumentation motion. Background: Various rotary single-file systems have been used; however, there are no evidence-based recommendations on the effectiveness of instrumentation motions and their correlation to postoperative pain in single-file systems with different instrumentation motions. Data sources: PubMed, Scopus, EBSCOhost, and Cochrane from January 2012 to January 2023. Study eligibility criteria, participants, and interventions: Population (P): Deciduous or permanent teeth; Interventions (I): A single-file system with continuous rotatory motions; Comparison (C): A single-file system with reciprocating motion; Outcomes (O): Postoperative pain; Study design (S): Randomized clinical studies. Study appraisal and synthesis methods: The Cochrane risk-of-bias tool 2.0 was used to ascertain validity across five domains. Risk ratio (RR) for dichotomous variables and weighted mean difference for continuous variables were used as summary measures. Review results: Out of 10 clinical studies, 7 studies qualified for meta-analysis. The results of the meta-analysis state the mean difference has standard mean deviation with heterogeneity: τ2 = 0.52; χ2 = 88.56, df = 7 (p < 0.00001); I2 = 92%. Test for overall effect: Z = 0.26 (p = 0.79) with a 95% confidence interval. It can be concluded that no additional benefit of the test intervention was obtained over the control intervention. Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis indicate that pain in the continuous rotary group was slightly higher than in the reciprocating group but was not significant enough. In addition, more intense pain was observed during the initial 7–12 hours, and a statistical difference between the severity of pain after 48 and 72 hours was noted. The intensity decreased as time progressed. Clinical significance: (1) When pain scores were taken into account without regard to follow-up, pain in the continuous rotary group was higher than in the reciprocating group; (2) This meta-analysis found a statistical difference between the severity of pain after 48 and 72 hours; (3) There was no significant difference between the rotary and reciprocating motion groups with regard to the parameters, including tooth type, mean age, gender, and degree of preoperative discomfort, which did not significantly vary as a factor in postoperative pain.
