Abstract
Pain levels in patients undergoing periodontal and endodontic treatment is of interest. Using pain assessment tools like the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), we assessed pain before, during, and after treatment. Results indicated that endodontic treatment caused higher pain levels, especially post-operatively, compared to periodontal treatment. The findings highlight the need for tailored pain management strategies in endodontics. These insights can guide clinicians in improving pain management for patients undergoing dental procedures.
