The self-tapping method was used on the left side and the self-drilling method was used on the right side. Then, the pain rate of each method was recorded by the numerical rating scale (NRS). Statistical analysis was done by t-test and Chi-square test. The significance level in this study was considered at p-value 0.05). There was a significant difference between the groups (p=0.03). The pain was significantly higher in the female. Conclusion: There is no difference between self-drilling and self-tapping methods in terms of success. Comparison of the pain between two genders according to the replantation method showed a significant difference in pain sensation between two genders.
