Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

7-day postoperative pain after root canal treatment

At the end of the visit, patients were educated to record their postoperative pain level by assigning a number between 0 and 10 using the numerical rating scale (NRS) chart. They were categorized into four: 0=no pain, 1-3=mild pain, 4-6=moderate pain, and 7-10=severe pain. The patients were asked to record their pain level preoperatively, at 6, 12, and 24 h, and daily for up to 7 days, and return it to he investigators at a specific time.

Time frame: 7 days
