Calcium treatment shows comparable results
Eighteen-month clinical and radiographic evaluation of two root canal-filling materials in primary teeth with pulp necrosis secondary to trauma.
Study directly examined calcium effects
We compared two root canal-filling materials used in treating primary teeth with pulp necrosis caused by trauma. Our main focus was on the effectiveness of a calcium hydroxide-based paste versus traditional zinc oxide and eugenol cement, specifically looking at clinical and radiographic outcomes after 18 months.

In our study involving 26 children, we found that both materials demonstrated similar success rates. Clinical success included factors like the absence of pain and tooth mobility, while radiographic success was determined by the healing of tooth roots. Our results indicated that both calcium treatment and zinc oxide function well for the root canal filling in children suffering from pulp necrosis, making them suitable options.

Overall, our findings suggest that whether we use calcium hydroxide or zinc oxide, parents and dentists can expect effective outcomes when treating dental trauma in young children. Thus, both materials are viable choices for addressing toothache related to pulp issues in primary teeth.

Calcium treatment for tooth sensitivity
Comparison of using calcium hydroxide or a dentine primer for reducing dentinal pain following crown preparation: a randomized clinical trial with an observation time up to 30 months.
Moderately relevant study findings
We explored how effective calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) is in reducing tooth sensitivity following crown preparations when compared to a glutaraldehyde-based dentine primer. In this study, 36 patients underwent treatment where one tooth was treated with calcium hydroxide and another with the dentine primer.

Patients shared their experiences regarding tooth sensitivity during preparation and following irritation with a cotton pellet at a specific temperature. We assessed the sensitivity at different intervals: immediately after application, after seven days, six months, and up to 30 months later.

The results showed that both treatments helped to reduce sensitivity, but there were no significant differences in effectiveness between the two. For the first evaluation, the decrease in sensitivity was mild, and while it did improve over time, the calcium treatment did not show a clear advantage over the dentine primer.

While both methods appeared useful, we honestly found no strong evidence that calcium hydroxide offers significant benefits for toothache relief compared to the other option. This means if you're considering one over the other for crown sensitivity relief, the choice between them might not make a big difference.

Calcium treatment effectiveness assessed
Intracanal medications versus placebo in reducing postoperative endodontic pain--a double-blind randomized clinical trial.
Study shows mixed results
In our exploration of how different treatments affect tooth pain, we conducted a thorough study involving 64 patients with pulp necrosis and acute apical periodontitis. This investigation aimed to determine how effective various intracanal medicaments, including calcium hydroxide, can be in managing postoperative discomfort following root canal procedures.

Patients were treated using one of four methods: a mix of calcium hydroxide and chlorhexidine, chlorhexidine alone, calcium hydroxide alone, or no dressing at all. We carefully recorded each patient's pain levels using a visual analog scale before treatment and monitored their pain for up to four days afterward.

Our findings revealed that patients who received treatments with either chlorhexidine or the combination of calcium hydroxide and chlorhexidine experienced significantly less pain than those treated with just calcium hydroxide or no dressing. Specifically, those treated with the chlorhexidine alone or the combination was notably effective in reducing pain levels compared to the control group.

Ultimately, we observed that while calcium hydroxide has its place, when combined with chlorhexidine or used alone, its effectiveness varies. Thus, for tooth pain relief post-treatment, the addition of chlorhexidine seems to enhance the benefits significantly.

Toothache relief
Excellent product! I follow a specific scheme for taking it. My bone pain has decreased, and the toothache has stopped since I started. I can't imagine discontinuing the supplement. It has no noticeable smell, and I am very satisfied.

No more toothache
I took one tablet a day, believing the effect was cumulative. After finishing the tablets, I still noticed improvements. Although the instructions suggested two tablets daily, I opted for one, as I hadn't consulted a doctor. My nails have become stronger, and my teeth no longer hurt. Previously, I felt my teeth were loose, but that sensation has vanished. It was an odd experience, not like typical toothache, yet I sensed the need for intervention to avoid costly dental issues in the future.

Calcium hydroxide's limited pain relief
The relationship of intracanal medicaments to postoperative pain in endodontics.
Calcium effect on toothache unclear
We investigated how different medicaments placed in the root canal affect postoperative pain in patients suffering from acute apical periodontitis. Our study involved 223 teeth from 221 patients all receiving conventional root canal treatment, where we utilized a stepback technique for cleaning and preparing the canals.

Patients were divided into three groups, with one group receiving Ledermix paste, the second group receiving calcium hydroxide paste, and the third group not receiving any dressing. Following the treatment, we asked patients to rate their pain levels before and after the procedure using a visual analogue pain scale.

Interestingly, we observed that those treated with Ledermix experienced significantly less pain than those who received the calcium hydroxide dressing or no dressing at all. This indicates that while calcium hydroxide is commonly used, its effectiveness in reducing pain post-treatment may not be as beneficial as previously thought when compared to other options like Ledermix.

Calcium's limited impact on outcomes
Incidence of periapical lesions and clinical symptoms after pulpectomy--a clinical and radiographic evaluation of 1- versus 2-session treatment.
Focused on calcium's role
We examined the impact of calcium hydroxide on treating toothache through a controlled evaluation of pulpectomy treatments. Our study involved 256 participants with vital pulp conditions, allowing us to compare two approaches: a single-session treatment that included immediate root-filling, and a two-session treatment that used calcium hydroxide as an interim dressing.

After treatment, we evaluated the outcomes by looking for signs of apical periodontitis and any painful symptoms at follow-ups done one week, as well as one to three years later. Interestingly, while we found 17 participants with periapical radiolucency, these lesions appeared evenly across both treatment groups. Furthermore, postoperative pain experienced a week after treatment was significantly linked to overfilling but did not differ between the two groups.

Our findings suggest that while pulpectomy can achieve a high success rate with appropriate techniques and aseptic measures, the interim use of calcium hydroxide did not seem to significantly impact the outcomes. This highlights that when done properly, the effectiveness of pulpectomy might not solely rely on whether calcium treatments are used.
