Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patients free from any systemic diseases or genetic disorders. * Children aged 9-13 years old of both sexes. * Traumatically or cariously exposed single rooted mature permanent teeth which may be asymptomatic or manifested with dull ache pain, or spontaneous unprovoked toothache. * Non-vital single rooted mature permanent teeth that indicated for endodontic treatment * Swelling close to involved tooth accompanied with or without fistula. * Negative response to cold & electrical pulp test. * Informed Consent.
Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pulp sensibility | Every 3 months over a period of one year | clinical evaluation of pulp sensibility using electric pulp tester as a measurement tool |
| Radiographic evaluation of periapical tissues | Every 3 months over a period of one year | Radiographic evaluation using standardized digital radiograph that stored in computer for assessment of periapical tissues status using scoring system: 1. Score 0 - No radiological changes seen compared to preoperative radiograph 2. Score 1 - Slight decrease in radiolucency seen in periapical region 3. Score 2 - Complete reduction or resolution of radiolucency seen in periapical region. |
