This study is looking at whether an extra injection of bupivacaine, a long-lasting numbing medicine, after a root canal (non-surgical endodontic treatment) can help reduce pain, improve your quality of life, and decrease the amount of pain medication you need. You might receive bupivacaine, a mock injection (placebo), or no additional injection. Researchers will compare these groups to see if bupivacaine makes a difference. To join, you must be at least 18 years old, have good general health (ASA Class I or II), and be scheduled for a root canal for a specific type of tooth pain. The main goal is to see how your quality of life changes after treatment, measured over five days. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 150 people.
