The aim of this study is to evaluate postoperative pain after endodontic instrumentation using rotation, reciprocation and adaptive motion.
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.
