- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. Pain intensity is measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) at baseline, after the anaesthetic effect has disappeared (Day 0) and 1, 3, and 7 days post-treatment<br>2. Pain relief is assessed by reviewing Clinical Evaluation Questionnaire” forms and calculating the changes in pain intensity between each reporting time points (baseline-Day 0; baseline- Day 1; baseline-Day 3; baseline-Day 7; Day 0-Day 1; Day 0-Day 3; Day 0-Day 7; Day 1-Day 3; Day 1-Day 7; Day 3-Day 7)<br>3. Total time per procedure per tooth is expressed in minutes during surgery<br>
