Eligible patients will be treated in one visit.\n* Patients will be randomly assigned to one of 2 groups: experimental group (taking a 50 mg diclofenac potassium packet) and the control group (taking a placebo packet). Each packet will be taken 30 minutes before starting treatment. The patient's pain will be assessed before local anesthetic administration using Heft- Parker Visual Analog Scale (HP- VAS). . After 15 minutes of the initial inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) of 1.8 ml of 2% mepivacaine hydrochloride with 1:100000 epinephrine, the teeth will be examined using a cold pulp sensitivity test; in case of lip numbness together with no or mild pain on cold, the treatment will be initiated.\n* During root canal treatment, no to mild pain response on HP- VAS will be considered success. In case of failure, supplemental anesthesia will be administered.\n* Main outcome measures: Anesthetic success during root canal treatment using HP VAS."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '50 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
