Brief summary

the investigator intended to study the effect of laser versus ultrasonic in activation of irrigation in post operative pain of patients have a symptomatic necrotic teeth

Detailed description

the investigator will choose from patients entering clinic of endodontics in faculty of oral and dental medicine Cairo university who are eligible to the criteria. After the patients is found eligible,the patients will be randomly assigned to either the control (ultrasonic activated irrigation )or to the intervention ( diode laser activated irrigation) treatment done in both in single visit. At the end of treatment, patients will be asked to record post operative pain by NRS .

Interventions

OTHERdiode laser activated irrigation

diode laser became the most common and affordable type of laser used in endodontics for many uses , its disinfection effect is an important issue which not discussed in clinical trial before , So this study is assigned to study that
