One of the most important aspects of endodontic practice is to abate pain during and post root canal treatment. An endodontist by all means should provide a painless endodontic treatment to their patients. This study is carried out to determine the effect of occlusal reduction on relief of pain and percussion in patients with irreversible pulpitis and symptomatic apical periodontitis treated in a single visit root canal treatment. Pain will be assessed preoperatively and then post operatively after completion of the root canal at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours following obturation of root canal.
