The purpose of this research is to analyze the levels of pain after cleaning and shaping in individuals who are receiving root canal therapy using the IVAC irrigation approach, and those who are treated with ultrasonic irrigation techniques, negative pressure irrigation technique and traditional irrigation techniques. PICOTS Question: Does the new Dent's iVac irrigation protocol has an effect on reduction of postoperative pain By enlisting at least 84 suitable individuals who are undergoing the identical endodontic procedure. pain will be measures by assessing pain levels through a standardized numerical rate scale (NRS) at certain time intervals after root canal treatment, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours.

RECRUITINGNumerical Pain Scale (NRS)
Pain will be assessed during the numerical rate scale (NRS) which has a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain while 10 is most unbearable one.
Time frame: Preoperative, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hour post-procedure.
Analgesics intake
The patient will be advised to take analgesics in case of unbearable pain and record this. Number of tablets and the time will be recorded ● The satisfaction of patients regarding the pain management intervention at the follow-up
