The present study aimed to compare postoperative pain in teeth with symptomatic and asymptomatic apical periodontitis (AP) following a single‐visit endodontic treatment using BioRoot™ RCS or AH Plus at 8 h, 24 h and 48 h postoperatively. Postgraduate students performed endodontic treatment on 101 teeth with AP, randomised into two obturation groups. A 100‐mm Visual Analog Scale was used to document the intensity of pain at preoperative, 8‐h, 24‐h and 48‐h intervals. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used for normality, and the median and interquartile ranges were compared using the Mann–Whitney U test. Preoperative pain (1.90 ± 3.50) was more frequent in teeth with symptomatic AP (p
