Summary
This study tested whether using a sonic device (EndoActivator) to clean the tooth during a root canal reduces pain afterward. Fifty-eight adults with tooth infections were randomly assigned to get either the sonic cleaning or standard syringe irrigation. Pain was measured before and at several times after the procedure using a simple 0-10 scale.
