To evaluate and compare the post operative pain after the use of two different irrigation tips: A side vented Max- i- Probe® and an end-vented needle, NaviTip, tips in one visit root canal treatment after 4, 12, 24 and 48 hours utilizing a modified visual analogue scale (VAS). Thirty patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis were divided randomly in two groups, Group A: Max- i- probe; Group B: NaviTip. After obturation, pain assessment was done pre operatively, 4, 12, 24, 48 hours post - operatively using the modified visual analogue scale (VAS). Results: Results showed that there was no statistically difference between the two groups regarding the demographic data, prevalence of pre-operative pain and post-operative pain, after 4 hours, 12 hours and 48 hours. On the other hand, there was a statistically significant difference between group A (Max- i- probe) and group B (NaviTip) in median modified VAS scores after 24 hours with group B showing higher scores. NaviTip caused more post-operative pain than Max- i- Probe in case of vital teeth
