Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the antimicrobial efficiency of herbal Mimusops elengi, Tribulus terrestris as an intracanal medicament on aerobes and facultative anaerobes colony forming units over 4 weeks of time period comparing with calcium hydroxide (control) on permanent teeth by assessing history of pain, tenderness on percussion, absence of abscess or sinus dischargeTimepoint: 1st day –baseline sample collection for microbiological analysis of E.faecalis. • 2 weeks follow up with sample collection for microbiological analysis of E.faecalis. • 4 weeks follow up with sample collection for microbiological analysis of E.faecalis. Time of assessment are first day, 2weeks and 4 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the success rate of endodontic therapy over a period of 30 days based on the parameters like absence of pain tenderness to vertical percussion discharge or swelling suggestive of periapical healingTimepoint: 15 days & 30 days post placement of intracanal medicament
