Primary purpose: SCREENING

Brief summary: In this study the effect of dental post application on postoperative dental pain in patients with asymptomatic teeth after a single-appointment root canal treatment will be evaluated.

Detailed description: The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the effect of dental post application on postoperative pain intensity level in patients with asymptomatic teeth after a single-appointment root canal treatment. A total of one hundred patients with asymptomatic teeth and with no contradictory medical history who are indicated for non-surgical root canal treatment and application of a dental post at the Endodontic Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul Medipol University, between April and December of 2019 will be included. All of the patients will be recruited from the Istanbul Medipol University Dental Clinics in Istanbul. the patients will be divided in two groups (n=50). Consent will be obtained from all study participants before the treatment. After the root canal treatments are completed in single-visit, in the first groups dental posts will be applied immediately at the same visit and patients will be appointed for pain assessment. In group 2 after the root canal treatment a temporary filling be applied in the access cavity and patients will be appointed for pain assessment. Dental posts will be applied after the pain assessment is completed at the end of 1 week. All treatments will be performed by one endodontist. Postoperative pain intensity will be assessed at 24, 48, and 72 h; 7 days; after the treatment. The teeth will be examined according to postoperative pain intensity levels,
