Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate pretreatment pain and postoperative pain of Curcuma longa extract, grape seed extract with calcium hydroxide (CaOH2) as intracanal medicament in symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Materials and Methods: Eighty patients with irreversible pulpitis, between 18 and 60 years were included in the study. After obtaining initial pain scores, patients were randomly allocated to three groups. In first visit, patients were given visual analog scale form to mark pain intensity at start of the treatment and posttreatment. The compiled data collected were statistically analyzed using 20 SPSS software. Results: In all the three groups, for patients undergoing root canal treatment, pain intensity was highest on 1st day of treatment and dropped afterward. A comparison of pain between curcumin and grape seed extract revealed no significant difference in pain scores for the respective time intervals. Intergroup comparison between curcumin and CaOH2 group showed less postoperative pain in C. longa than CaOH2 group. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, Curcumin longa extract has least pain when compared with CaOH2 and grape seed extract when it is used as intracanal medication in symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
