Management of postoperative pain is a challenge for clinicians providing root canal therapy and a primary concern for patients as it directly affects their quality of life. Traditionally, multiple-visit endodontic treatment has been employed. In modern endodontics, single-visit endodontic therapy is becoming popular. Objectives: To compare frequency of postoperative pain following single and two-visit endodontic therapy in non-vital teeth. Methods: Randomized Controlled Trial was conducted at Operative Dentistry Department, Islamic International Dental Hospital, Islamabad. Each patient was assigned to group A or B with 140 participants in each group. Access, cleaning, and shaping were performed on the first visit. At the first visit, teeth in group A were obturated using guttapercha, whereas Group B was obturated after one week. Patients were instructed to mark the severity of pain at intervals of 6 hours, 24 hours, and 7 days after treatment. Results: 280 patients were divided into two groups of 140 each. Overall mean age and standard deviation was 27.35 + 7.18. At 6 hours, 123 group A and 119 group B patients experienced pain. 113 patients in group A and 105 patients in group B reported pain at 24 hours. On the 7th day, the number of patients in groups A and B that had pain was 8 and 7 respectively. P-value was not statistically significant. Conclusion: This study found no difference in the incidence of postoperative pain in non-vital teeth, irrespective of the number of endodontic treatment visits.
