Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Postendodontic pain using a pain-measuring scale

    Postoperative pain is measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) which is an 11-point scale from 0-10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain measured 6 hours after the first visit

    6 hours

  • Postendodontic pain using a pain-measuring scale

    Postoperative pain is measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) which is an 11-point scale from 0-10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain measured 12 hours after the first visit

    12 hours

  • Postendodontic pain using a pain-measuring scale

    Postoperative pain is measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) which is an 11-point scale from 0-10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain measured 24 hours after the first visit

    24 hours

  • Postendodontic pain using a pain-measuring scale

    Postoperative pain is measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) which is an 11-point scale from 0-10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain measured 48 hours after the first visit

    48 hours

  • Postendodontic pain using a pain-measuring scale

    Postoperative pain is measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) which is an 11-point scale from 0-10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain measured 72 hours after the first visit

    72 hours

  • Postendodontic pain using a pain-measuring scale

    Postoperative pain is measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) which is an 11-point scale from 0-10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain measured 7 days after the first visit
