What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Brief Summary This prospective, randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of different endodontic motor settings used during root canal treatment on postoperative pain. During root canal treatment, the inner part of the tooth is cleaned and shaped using specialized rotating instruments. These instruments can operate with different motion patterns, and the motor may respond differently as the instrument approaches the tip of the root. The influence of these technical variations on postoperative pain has not been clearly established. Adult participants requiring root canal treatment for mandibular premolar teeth will be enrolled in the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to different groups. In each group, root canal treatment will be performed using different motor motion settings. All procedures applied in this study are routine and safe treatment methods commonl
