Brief Summary

This study is a randomized, double-blinded, parallel group clinical trial to assess and compare the effectiveness of intracanal and intraoral cryotherapy on postoperative pain in teeth with symptomatic apical periodontitis. The primary outcome measure will be the measurement of postoperative pain in intracanal, intraoral and control group, 6 and 24 hours postoperatively using Visual Analog Scale. The secondary objectives are the measurement of the need for analgesics and postoperative pain changes among gender and age groups.
