Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
powder-liquid MTA	MTA	The root canal will be filled with MTA at the end of the first session and patients will fill out a post-op pain form for 1 week.
Putty MTA	MTA	The root canal will be filled with putty MTA at the end of the first session and patients will fill out a post-op pain form for 1 week.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
10-day postoperative pain after root canal treatment	10 days	At the end of the visit, patients were educated to record their postoperative pain level by assigning a number between 0 and 100 using the numerical rating scale (NRS) chart. They were categorized into four: 0=no pain, 10-30=mild pain, 40-60=moderate pain, and 70-100=severe pain. The patients were asked to record their pain level preoperatively, at 6, 12, and 24 h, and daily for up to 10 days, and return it to he investigators at a specific time.
