Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: A total of 110 patients aged 5-9 years with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis involving primary molars were included in the study and were randomly divided into two groups according to agitation methods: SA and no sonic activation (NSA). Root canal treatments were completed, and the teeth were restored permanently. Postoperative pain levels were evaluated using the five-face scale at 8, 24, 48, and 72 h and 1 week after treatment. Pain levels and frequency of analgesic intake were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: It was determined that the use of SA reduces postoperative pain level significantly after root canal treatment in primary molar teeth. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The use of SA can be recommended to clinicians since it is effective in the successful management of postoperative pain of root canal treatment in primary molar teeth. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04197531.
