| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain level comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods:The five-face pain scale chart at 72th hours | 72th hours | Pain levels according to the five-face scale were recorded numerically as no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), severe pain (3), or very severe pain (4). All participants and their parents were informed by a blind researcher about filling out the five-face pain scale chart. To achieve standardization, pain levels were recorded by the participants under the same parent's guidance at each time interval. |
| Pain level comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods:The five-face pain scale chart at 8th hours | 8th hours | Pain levels according to the five-face scale were recorded numerically as no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), severe pain (3), or very severe pain (4). All participants and their parents were informed by a blind researcher about filling out the five-face pain scale chart. To achieve standardization, pain levels were recorded by the participants under the same parent's guidance at each time interval. |
| Pain level comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods:The five-face pain scale chart at 24th hours | 24th hours | Pain levels according to the five-face scale were recorded numerically as no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), severe pain (3), or very severe pain (4). All participants and their parents were informed by a blind researcher about filling out the five-face pain scale chart. To achieve standardization, pain levels were recorded by the participants under the same parent's guidance at each time interval. |
| Pain level comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods:The five-face pain scale chart at 48th hours | 48th hours | Pain levels according to the five-face scale were recorded numerically as no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), severe pain (3), or very severe pain (4). All participants and their parents were informed by a blind researcher about filling out the five-face pain scale chart. To achieve standardization, pain levels were recorded by the participants under the same parent's guidance at each time interval. |

| Analgesic intake comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods at 0-8 hours. | 0-8 hours | The patients were asked to choose one of the two options: 0: No pain, or no pain which does not require the use of analgesics, 1: Moderate pain which can be controlled very well by the use of analgesics and does not affect daily activities or sleep. |
| Analgesic intake comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods at 8-24 hours. | 8-24 hours | The patients were asked to choose one of the two options: 0: No pain, or no pain which does not require the use of analgesics, 1: Moderate pain which can be controlled very well by the use of analgesics and does not affect daily activities or sleep. |
| Analgesic intake comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods at 24-48 hours. | 24-48 hours | The patients were asked to choose one of the two options: 0: No pain, or no pain which does not require the use of analgesics, 1: Moderate pain which can be controlled very well by the use of analgesics and does not affect daily activities or sleep. |
| Analgesic intake comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods at 48-72 hours. | 48-72 hours | The patients were asked to choose one of the two options: 0: No pain, or no pain which does not require the use of analgesics, 1: Moderate pain which can be controlled very well by the use of analgesics and does not affect daily activities or sleep. |
