Brief summary

This clinical study aims to find out whether there is a difference in pain experienced after root canal treatment when it is done in one visit versus multiple visits. The focus is on patients with non-vital (dead) single-rooted teeth. Some dentists prefer to complete the treatment in one appointment, while others spread it over two or more visits. By comparing both methods, the study will help determine which approach leads to less pain after treatment. Study Hypothesis: There is no significant difference in the average level of post-treatment pain between single-visit and multiple-visit root canal procedures.

Interventions

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group A (Single-Visit Root Canal Treatment): Patients will receive complete root canal therapy, including cleaning, shaping, and obturation, in a single appointment of 2 hour duration. post operative Pain will be monitored by Visual analogue scale at 6hr , 24hr, 48hr and 7days interval. Pain will be monitored by Visual analogue scale at 6hr , 24hr, 48hr and 7days interval. Both groups will be treated under rubber dam isolation using
