Brief summary

This study evaluated the postoperative pain after the endodontic treatment by using three different obturation techniques. ( Cold lateral condensation (CLC), thermoplasticized solid-core carrier method (GuttaCore) and cold free-flow compation tecnique ( GuttaFlow2))

Interventions

OTHERRoot Canal Obturation Technique

This study aims to compare the effects of three different obturation techniques(cold lateral condensation,thermoplasticized solid-core carrier method, cold free flow compaction technique) on postoperative pain following the endodontic therapy

Pain level comparison after root canal obturation with three different obturation technique.: VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) at 7th days.7th daysBased on the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), the pain levels of the patients were assessed. The scale consisted of a 100-mm-long line divided into 10 equal intervals from 0 (no pain) to 100 (very severe pain). Every patient was asked to mark his or her perceived postoperative pain level on the line.
