Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Post root canal C reactive protein level	2 weeks	Pre-operative serum c-reactive protein level was measured to which the post operative c-reactive protein level after 2 weeks of root canal treatment are compared.; The normal serum c-reactive protein level is 0 - 6.00 mg/L.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
pain and swelling assessment	6 months	pain and swelling reduction after root canal treatment is assessed. . Pain is evaluated using visual analgue scale (VAS) , regarding swellling reduction patient is asked to evaluate subjectively whether the patient profile has returned to normal after the treatment and they were asked how many days it took for the swelling to resolve completely.
