Introduction: Postoperative pain is one of the most critical issues in our daily practice. , postoperative pain control is essential for patient satisfaction and comfort. When primary root canal treatment fails, root canal retreatment aims to heal apical periodontitis. Aim of study: To compare between postoperative pain (POS) after endodontic retreatment using NI-TI rotary files Mtwo R alone and in conjunction with XP endo finisher . Materials and Methods: This research is a randomized clinical trial conducted in a parallel design on 50 patients needing retreatment. They will be divided into two groups, group 1 retreatment with Mtwo R, group 2 retreatment with Mtwo R followed by Xp - Endo finisher. Postoperative pain levels will be evaluated at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and 7 days following the removal of the obturation mat erial. The assessment of pain will be done through clinical examination, The Defense and veterans pain rating scale (DVPRS) and by the intake of pain killer

XP-endo Finisher file will be inserted without rotation into the root canals filled with 2.5% NaOCl and will be activated (800 rpm; torque of 1 N.cm) for 1 min in each canal using slow and gentle 7-8 mm lengthwise movements.
obturation material will be removed using Mtwo R (VDW, Munich, Germany)files attached to an endodontic motor (Ecube, seachin, Korea) with a constant speed of 280 rpm, as suggested by the manufacturer. Mtwo R 25/0.05 will be used to empty the coronal and middle thirds of the root. Mtwo R 15/0.05 will be used to reach the working length.

change in analgesics intake according to severity of pain according to WHO Analgesic Ladder
First Step - Mild pain: non-opioid analgesics such as nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or acetaminophen with or without adjuvants. * Second Step - Moderate pain: weak opioids (hydrocodone, codeine, tramadol) with or without non-opioid analgesics and with or without adjuvants. * Third Step - Severe and persistent pain: potent opioids (morphine, methadone, fentanyl, oxycodone, buprenorphine, tapentadol, hydromorphone, oxymorphone) with or without non-opioid analgesics, and with or without adjuvants.
Time frame: 24-hours,48-hours,72hours and 7 days
