Summary

Patients with symptomatic teeth who applied endodontic clinic between April 2019 and December 2019 for root canal treatment were enrolled in this study.

The four scales were then compared statistically.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

numerical rating scale

patients were asked to marked their pain intensity level on numerical rating scale between 0 and 10 and the result was recorded as pain intensity level.

OTHER

visual analogue scale

Patients were asked to marked their pain intensity level on visual analogue scale, a straight line with one end indicating "no pain" and the other end indicating "worst pain possible". Then the distance between no pain end and patients' mark was measured and recorded as pain intensity level.

OTHER

color analogue scale

Patients were asked to marked their pain intensity level on color analogue scale, a straight line with one end indicating "no pain" and the other end indicating "worst pain possible"and color change towards to "worst pain possible" end. Then the distance between no pain end and patients' mark was measured and recorded as pain intensity level.

OTHER

faces rating scale

Patients were asked marked their pain on a faces rating scale which consisted of six different faces representing different levels of pain intensity with the first face indicating "no pain" whilst last face indicating "worst pain possible". The result was recorded as pain intensity level.
