Pain level comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods:The five-face pain scale chart at 8th hours
Pain levels according to the five-face scale were recorded numerically as no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), severe pain (3), or very severe pain (4). All participants and their parents were informed by a blind researcher about filling out the five-face pain scale chart. To achieve standardization, pain levels were recorded by the participants under the same parent's guidance at each time interval.
Time frame: 8th hours
Pain level comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods:The five-face pain scale chart at 24th hours
Pain levels according to the five-face scale were recorded numerically as no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), severe pain (3), or very severe pain (4). All participants and their parents were informed by a blind researcher about filling out the five-face pain scale chart. To achieve standardization, pain levels were recorded by the participants under the same parent's guidance at each time interval.
Time frame: 24th hours
Pain level comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods:The five-face pain scale chart at 48th hours
Pain levels according to the five-face scale were recorded numerically as no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), severe pain (3), or very severe pain (4). All participants and their parents were informed by a blind researcher about filling out the five-face pain scale chart. To achieve standardization, pain levels were recorded by the participants under the same parent's guidance at each time interval.
Time frame: 48th hours
Pain level comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods:The five-face pain scale chart at 72th hours
Pain levels according to the five-face scale were recorded numerically as no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), severe pain (3), or very severe pain (4).

Time frame: 72th hours
Analgesic intake comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods at 0-8 hours.
The patients were asked to choose one of the two options: "0: No pain, or no pain which does not require the use of analgesics", "1: Moderate pain which can be controlled very well by the use of analgesics and does not affect daily activities or sleep".
Time frame: 0-8 hours
