Abstract

Numerous irrigant activation devices have been produced that may affect the postoperative pain in addition to manual activation techniques during the final irrigation operation. Objective: To evaluate the postoperative pain after using EndoActivator and conventional syringe irrigation protocol in single rooted teeth. Methods: Patients 18-60 years old with either gender who had symptomatic or asymptomatic apical periodontitis in single-rooted teeth with irreversible pulpitis were included in the study. Fifty patients were randomly chosen and divided into two groups i.e Experimental (EndoActivator irrigation) and control (Conventional needle). Post-operative pain was assessed using a VAS at 24 hours, 3 days, and 7 days. Results: Male patients were 13 (52.0%) and 10 (40.0%) and female patients were 12 (48.0%) and 15 (60.0%) with mean age of 33.68 ± 10.13 and 33.64 ± 12.34 years in group A and group B respectively. Post-operative assessment of pain at 24hrs was: no pain 9 (36.0%) and 7 (28.0%), mild pain 10 (40.0%) and 11 (44.0%), moderate pain 6 (24.0%) and 4 (16.0%) patients, severe pain 0 (0.0%) and 3 (12.0%), on day 3^rd: no pain 17 (68.0%) and 13 (52.0%), mild pain 7 (28.0%) and 11 (44.0%). moderate pain 1 (4.0%) and 1 (4.0%) and on day 7^th no pain 23 (92.0%) and 23 (92.0%) and mild pain 2 (8.0%) and 2 (8.0%) patients in group A and group B respectively. Conclusions: There was no significant difference in effectiveness of both irrigation systems
