About this trial
In endodontics, various irrigation solutions are used to achieve antibacterial efficacy within the root canal. The antibacterial effect of curcumin-containing root canal solutions, when combined with photodynamic therapy, has been demonstrated in several studies. However, no research has specifically examined their effect on postoperative pain. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of using a curcumin solution in combination with photodynamic therapy as the final irrigation solution on postoperative pain.
