Summary A clinical study was carried out on nonvital maxillary central incisors to evaluate the incidence of postoperative pain following single‐visit root canal treatment using three different instrumentation techniques. Ninety teeth from 78 patients whose ages ranged from 14 to 63 years were selected and divided into three groups. Each group (30 teeth) was prepared by a different coronal‐to‐apical technique using different instrument movement depending upon the technique employed: modified double‐flared, crown‐downpressureless and balanced force techniques. No difference was observed in the incidence of postoperative pain among the groups.
