Objective To observe the effect of calcium hydroxide paste combined with root canal in the treatment of pulpitis or apicitis. Methods the study lasted from January 2021 to January 2022. The subjects were 60 patients with pulpitis and apicitis treated in our hospital during this period. The patients were randomly divided into combined group and control group. The combined group was treated with calcium hydroxide paste combined with root canal treatment, and the control group was treated with zinc oxide iodoform clove oil paste combined with root canal treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared. Results in the comparison of treatment effectiveness, the score of the combined group was significantly better than that of the control group (P < 0.05); In the comparison of periodontal index, the scores of periodontal index in the combined group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05); In the comparison of root canal pain, the pain scores of all levels in the combined group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion calcium hydroxide paste combined with root canal therapy in patients with pulpitis or apicitis can improve the overall treatment effect and improve the root canal pain of patients, which is worthy of application.
