Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients below age 18 and over age of 50 years 2. Cases of acute apical abscess and chronic apical abscess with or without sinus. 3. Teeth with calcified pulp chamber and root canals. 4. Previously filled root canals. 5. Periodontally compromised teeth. 6. Cases of necrotic pulp. 7. Medically compromised patients. 8.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
cryotherapy is as an adjunct to inferior alveolar nerve block in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis to relive pain. By using the cryotherapy, other painful injections will be avoided to relieve the pain.Timepoint: Pain response of patient will be assessed at three time interval by VAS(visual analogue scale)on the same day- 1. preoperative 2. During access opening 3. After pulp extirpation	—
