ABSTRACT
This Study Was To Evaluate The Effect Of Propolis Compared To Calcium Hydroxide As Intracanal Medicaments On Postoperative Pain In Patients With Necrotic Pulp During Two Visit Treatment. Methods: Fifty Four Participants With Necrotic Pulp In Single Root Single Canal Teeth Were Included In This Study. After Confirming The Diagnosis Clinically And Radiographically, Access Cavity And Mechanical Preparation Using Were Accomplished In The Same Visit. Then Patients Were Randomly Assigned Into Two Equal Groups (calcium Hydroxide Group And Propolis Group), And Then The Access Cavity Was Sealed. Patients Were Instructed To Rate Their Pain Score At 24, 48, 72 Hours Then After 7 Days At The Day Of The Second Visit. After 7 Days The Intracanal Medicament Was Removed Then Root Canal Was Obturated.

Results: The Results Of This Study Showed That There Was No Statistically Significant Difference In Reduction Of Post-operative Pain Between Calcium Hydroxide Paste And Propolis Paste In Patient With Necrotic Pulp At 24 Hours, 72 Hours And 7 Days. However, There Was A Statistically Significant Difference In Reduction Of Post-operative Pain Between Two Groups At 48 Hours.

Conclusions: It Could Be Concluded That The Intracanal Use Of Calcium Hydroxide And Propolis Was Effective In Controlling Incidence And Intensity Of Post-operative Pain. The Intracanal Use Of Propolis Was Effective In Rapidly Controlling Post-operative Pain With No Side Effects.
