Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Patients who will be willing to participate in study with a informed signed consent. 2.Tooth indicated for root canal treatment. 3.Patients with chronic apical peridontitis with PAI score 4-5 4. Chronic apical periodontitis is generally a non-painful condition in which the apical portion (i.e. the part around the tip) of a toothâ??s root is chronically inflamed. The term chronic means the condition has been present for a significant length of time (at least several weeks, and sometimes much longer). There may be drainage through the gums from around the toothâ??s root. Drainage into a major nerve canal can lead to numbness, which is generally temporary and resolves following successful treatment of the condition.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Previously attempted pulpotomy or pulpectomy 2. Immunocompromised patient (ie, AIDS, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Tuberculosis, Cancer patients). 3. Tooth with a mobility score >2. 4. Tooth with periodontal pocket depth >6mm. 5. Tooth with incompletely formed root apices. 6. Tooth with vertical or horizontal fracture extending
