Abstract :Objective: The aim of this study was to assess and compare the Vibringe Sonic Irrigation System and conventional irrigation (bevel open-ended) in terms of postoperative pain. Methods: Ninety asymptomatic, nonvital, single-rooted and single-canal teeth were evaluated for present clinical study. The included teeth were separated into two treatment groups [Group 1: Conventional irrigation, control (pink card), Group 2: Vibringe (blue card)] via cards selected by the patients. After treatment, all participants were given a verbal descriptor scale for the assessment of the pain and taken analgesics at the 6th, 12th, 24th, and 72nd hours. Results: Although there was no significant difference in the number of teeth with pain between the groups at the 6th, 24th, and 72nd hours, there was statistically more teeth with pain in group 2 in the 12th hour evaluation. However, in group 1, pain severity was significantly less than group 2 at all time periods. Conclusion: The outcome of this study denotes that the use of the Vibringe may cause an increase in the postoperative pain in comparison to conventional irrigation for asymptomatic teeth.
