• Abstract: Endodontic treatment involves the chemical and mechanical preparation of a tooth with pulp inflammation or necrosis. Postoperative pain and difficulty in periradicular lesion regression may develop during endodontic treatment. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate whether the type of irrigating solution used in the endodontic treatment of single-cone filled teeth influences postoperative symptoms and periradicular lesion regression. This is a clinical, exploratory, qualitative, quantitative, and descriptive study involving 70 patients with necrotic and asymptomatic teeth at the multidisciplinary clinics of ITPAC-Porto Nacional. After endodontic treatment, patients were monitored for 24 hours, 48 hours, 2, 3, and 6 months to assess postoperative pain and periradicular lesion regression. During the follow-up periods, all 70 patients did not experience postoperative pain. This study concludes that endodontic treatment performed at ITPAC-Porto Nacional yields favorable results and is pain-free.
