Summary

Aim to compare acute pain rate after single-visit ortwo-visits treatment of teeth with necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis .90 teeth with a diagnosis of pulp necrosis and apical radiolucency at the apex.Working length was established with EAL and confirmed radiographically. Flex-R files were used to complete canal preparation. Level ofdiscomfort were recorded and cases with acute postoperative pain.
