Effect of Removal of Intracanal Medication on Post Operative Pain

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Effects of the Elements
• Interventions: Device: Calcium hydroxide with side vented needle; Device: Calcium hydroxide with XP-endo Finisher file; Device: Calcium hydroxide with Irrisafe Ultrasonic tip

• Registration Number: NCT04324086
• Lead Sponsor: Minia University

Brief Summary

Recruited patients with necrotic pulp after application of Calcium hydroxide are assigned to group (XP Endo Finisher file) and group( Passive ultrasonic irrigation) and group (conventional syringe irrigation with side vented needle) to remove intracanal medication and record postoperative pain afterwards.

Detailed Description

The investigator will recruit patients who are found eligible to the criteria, Calcium hydroxide will be inserted inside the canals. After 7 days, patients will be randomly assigned to either removal of intracanal medication using, the XP-Endo Finisher file, passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and conventional syringe irrigation with side vented needle.

After the visit, patients will be asked to record post operative pain by Visual Analog Scale)in a given sheet
