Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain level comparison after root canal obturation with three different obturation technique:: VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) at 6th hours.6th hours.

Based 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.
