Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pain level comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods:The five-face pain scale chart at 72th hours	72th hours	Pain levels according to the five-face scale were recorded numerically as no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), severe pain (3), or very severe pain (4). All participants and their parents were informed by a blind researcher about filling out the five-face pain scale chart. To achieve standardization, pain levels were recorded by the participants under the same parent's guidance at each time interval.
Pain level comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods:The five-face pain scale chart at 8th hours	8th hours	Pain levels according to the five-face scale were recorded numerically as no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), severe pain (3), or very severe pain (4). All participants and their parents were informed by a blind researcher about filling out the five-face pain scale chart. To achieve standardization, pain levels were recorded by the participants under the same parent's guidance at each time interval.
Pain level comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods:The five-face pain scale chart at 24th hours	24th hours	Pain levels according to the five-face scale were recorded numerically as no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), severe pain (3), or very severe pain (4). All participants and their parents were informed by a blind researcher about filling out the five-face pain scale chart. To achieve standardization, pain levels were recorded by the participants under the same parent's guidance at each time interval.
Pain level comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods:The five-face pain scale chart at 48th hours	48th hours	Pain levels according to the five-face scale were recorded numerically as no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), severe pain (3), or very severe pain (4). All participants and their parents were informed by a blind researcher about filling out the five-face pain scale chart. To achieve standardization, pain levels were recorded by the participants under the same parent's guidance at each time interval.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Analgesic intake comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods at 0-8 hours.	0-8 hours	The patients were asked to choose one of the two options: "0: No pain, or no pain which does not require the use of analgesics", "1: Moderate pain which can be controlled very well by the use of analgesics and does not affect daily activities or sleep".
Analgesic intake comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods at 8-24 hours.	8-24 hours	The patients were asked to choose one of the two options: "0: No pain, or no pain which does not require the use of analgesics", "1: Moderate pain which can be controlled very well by the use of analgesics and does not affect daily activities or sleep".
Analgesic intake comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods at 24-48 hours.	24-48 hours	The patients were asked to choose one of the two options: "0: No pain, or no pain which does not require the use of analgesics", "1: Moderate pain which can be controlled very well by the use of analgesics and does not affect daily activities or sleep".
Analgesic intake comparison after root canal treatment with two different irrigation methods at 48-72 hours.	48-72 hours	The patients were asked to choose one of the two options: "0: No pain, or no pain which does not require the use of analgesics", "1: Moderate pain which can be controlled very well by the use of analgesics and does not affect daily activities or sleep".
