Effect of Different Apical Termination Point Guided by Electronic Apex Locator on Post Endodontic Pain , A Randomized Control Trial.

June 8, 2026 updated by: Prof Nazeer Khan

This randomized control trial compares the different apical termination point by using electronic apex locator J morita root ZX on post endodontic pain patient with single rooted teeth will be randomly assigned in to three groups according to sample size and reading of electronic apex locator having two experimental group and one control group included radiographic method following inclusion criteria .

after following the clinical steps in two visit root canal treatment, pain was asses on VAS from day 1 to day 3 before obturation and percussion test was also asses either positive or negative.
