About this study

Post operative pain assessment is done at the end of the session Visual Analog Scale (VAS) questionnaires were handed out to the patients and they were asked to assign a number correlating to their post-treatment pain, with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the most severe pain imaginable.These scores were marked in intervals of 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h following endodontic treatment.

Procedure

Different types of instrumentation motions during root canal therapy

Primary outcomes

  1. monitoring the change in postoperative pain following root canal treatment

    Time frame: 72 hours

    At the end of the session Visual Analog Scale (VAS) questionnaires were handed out to the patients and they were asked to assign a number correlating to their post-treatment pain, following endodontic treatment with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the most severe pain

Secondary outcomes

  1. 6-hour post operative pain assessment

    Time frame: 6 hours

    At the end of the session Visual Analog Scale (VAS) questionnaires were handed out to the patients and they were asked to assign a number correlating to their post-treatment pain after 6 hours, following endodontic treatment with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the most severe pain

  2. 12-hour post operative pain assessment

    Time frame: 12 hours

    At the end of the session Visual Analog Scale (VAS) questionnaires were handed out to the patients and they were asked to assign a number correlating to their post-treatment pain after 12 hours, following endodontic treatment with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the most severe pain

  3. 24-hour post operative pain assessment

    Time frame: 24 hours

    At the end of the session Visual Analog Scale (VAS) questionnaires were handed out to the patients and they were asked to assign a number correlating to their post-treatment pain after 24 hours, following endodontic treatment with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the most severe pain
