Abstract

Post-operative pain between single-visit and multiple-visit pulpectomy in 50 children (ages 6-10 years) with irreversible pulpitis is compared. Participants were divided into two groups-Group A (single-visit) and Group B (multiple-visit) and pain was assessed using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 6, 24, 48 and 72-hours post-operative. Group A consistently reported significantly lower pain levels (P < 0.05) than Group B. Thus, single-visit pulpectomy reduces post-operative pain more effectively thereby enhancing patient comfort and satisfaction.
