Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
postoperative pain.	after one day and after one week .	Measuring post operative pain after pulpectomy with two different obturation materials using (Modified Wong-backer scale of pain )which have four scales from( 0 to 3) which 0 is the better outcome( no pain) and 3 is the worst (severe pain).
