OBJECTIVE: The objective the study was to compare the effectiveness of Q MIX and BioPure (MTAD) as a final rinse to control the postoperative pain after one visit root canal treatment. DESIGN: Comparative experimental study. METHODOLOGY: Total 96 patients included in this study. Preoperative pain score was recorded on VAS. There were 3 groups, in Group A, Q Mix used as a last rinse, in Group B BioPure (MTAD) used as final irrigant and in Group 3 normal saline was used as final rinse after complete canal preparation and before obturation of root canals and teeth restored. Postoperative pain was recorded after 24 hours and 7 days on VAS. Data was enrolled & analyzed by Statistical Package Social Sciences Version-20. RESULTS: Patients included in the study having mean age were 36.47±10.552. The males and females were 49% and 51% respectively. The patients presented with pre-operative pain status as moderate and severe pain on VAS 29% and 71% respectively. Post-operative pain status after 24 hours recorded in all groups was mild in 46%, moderate in 43% and severe in 12% cases. Postoperative pain after 7 days was mild in 44%, moderate in 8% and no pain 48% of cases. The association between treatment groups and pain after 24 hours was recorded as no severe pain was present in Q Mix and BioPure group and was present in 11% of cases of normal saline group, with significant difference between treatment and control group. On association after 7 days there was no pain in 20% and 18% cases of Q Mix and BioPure and in normal saline group mild and moderate pain was present in 16% and 8% of cases. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that Q Mix has proved itself as an effective final irrigant as compared to BioPure. Both Q Mix and BioPure has reduced rate of postoperative pain than control group over 7 days of follow up period, when used as final irrigation material in single visit root canal treatment.
