Aim: This study aims to assess whether endodontic cryotherapy can effectively lower discomfort after a single root canal visit.
Material And Method: Thirty-six patients aged 18-32 years requiring single-visit root canal treatment (RCT) were divided into three groups at random, with twelve people in each: group 1 (control group), group 2 (normal saline), and group 3 (cold saline). After root canal therapy was finished, group 1 got no further treatment, group 2 got standard saline irrigation at room temperature, and group 3 got cold saline irrigation at 35.6-41°F. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to measure pain after 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after therapy.
Result: Preliminary results indicated a marked reduction in pain in group 3 relative to groups 1 and 2 at 6, 12, and 24 hours post-treatment ( < 0.05). At 48 hours, pain levels had significantly diminished across all groups, with group 3 consistently exhibiting the lowest VAS scores.
Conclusion: Endodontic cryotherapy using cold saline irrigation shows significant efficacy in reducing post-treatment pain after single-visit RCT when compared to normal saline and no additional intervention. These findings suggest that integrating cryotherapy could be a valuable adjunct in endodontic pain management.

Background: This randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effect of intracanal cryotherapy with 2-4 °C normal saline irrigation on post-operative pain after single-visit non-surgical root canal retreatment.
Methods: Forty-six single-rooted, single-canal teeth requiring non-surgical root canal retreatment were randomly assigned to two groups (n = 23): a cryotherapy group and a control group. All the treatments were completed during a single visit.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the intensity of postoperative pain following the final rinse using cold saline compared with room temperature saline and occlusal reduction.
Materials And Methods: A prospective, parallel, double-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted on 69 first mandibular molars diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and symptomatic apical periodontitis. Single-visit root canal treatment was performed; access cavity preparations and chemomechanical preparations were carried out using the ProTaper Gold rotary system under copious irrigation using 3% sodium hypochlorite and 17% EDTA.
