Fifty-eight patients aged 18-60 years, diagnosed with symptomatic or asymptomatic apical periodontitis will be randomly allocated into two groups: Group A (EndoActivator) and Group B (conventional syringe irrigation). preoperative pain will be evaluated in all patients requiring root canal treatment using visual analogue scale before initiating the procedure.
Postoperative pain will be measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 24, 36, 48 hours and one week.
This randomized clinical study will evaluate the effect of two different irrigation techniques on postoperative pain following root canal treatment in patients with apical periodontitis. A total of 58 patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive irrigation using the EndoActivator system, while the other group undergo conventional syringe irrigation. The objective is to determine whether the irrigation technique influences the level of postoperative discomfort experienced by patients. Pain levels will be assessed at specific time intervals to track the pattern of recovery and provide insight into the clinical effectiveness of each method in terms of patient comfort.
