Objective: To understand impact of physical activity on pain perception in patients presenting with acute pulpitis for endodontic therapy. Study Design: It was quantitative correlational by design. Place and duration of study: Department of Operative Dentistry, Dental Section, Islam Dental College, Sialkot. Materials & Methods: 500 patients from the Dental Section of Islam Dental College Sialkot were included in this study. The correlation of movement/walk and pain during endodontic treatment was determined. Numeric pain scale was used to document pain. Activity was measured by the number of minutes of walk of the patient. Results: There is a significant association between physical activity/exercise and pain. Statistical significance between pain and exercise was -.158. Conclusion: Pre-operative assessment of physical activity may be a predictor of pain perceived by patients. Therefore, it is important to educate and consider patient’s physical activity to manage pain during the dental treatment. Life style modification may seems insignificant but has proven positive impact in pain management. Keywords: Exercise, local anaesthesia (LA), endodontic therapy, pain.

Aim: To discover and relate the role of sleep with pain perception in patients undergoing endodontic therapy. Study design: The study was quantitative correlational design in nature. Place and duration of study: Department of Operative Dentistry, Dental section Islam Dental College, Sialkot. Duration of study was two years 2019-2020 Methods: Five hundred patients were included in the study, which were scheduled for endodontic therapy. Results: Five hundred patients were included in the study. The correlation between sleep and pain during endodontic therapy was -.039 which was found non-significant. 250 cases have mild pain (50%), 158 cases (31.6%) have moderate pain, 92 cases (18.4%) have severe pain. Sleep deprived cases in the study were 264(52.8%), while cases who were practicing good sleeping habits were 236 (47.25%). Conclusion: There exists a statistically significant relationship between perception of pain during endodontic therapy and sleep. In order to improve the outcome of endodontic therapy dental professionals should educate their patients on the importance of good sleep hygiene along with dental hygiene.
