Research the effect of different instrument designs on root canal preparation by evaluating bacterial count reduction and post-operative pain
Post Operative Pain
Intensity of pain felt after endodontic treatment recorded by the patient using modified Visual Analogue Scale where 0=no pain, 1-3=mild pain, 4-6=moderate pain and 7-10=severe pain
Time frame: Postoperative pain will be measured by modified Visual Analogue Scale immediately after the end of treatment, and at 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours.
Number of needed analgesic tablets in case of intolerable pain
The patient will record the number of analgesic tablets taken in case of intolerable pain
Time frame: Patient will be contacted after 48 hours after endodontic treatment to know the number of analgesic tablets taken
Antibacterial Effectiveness
Bacterial counting using agar Culture technique
Time frame: First as a Baseline (T0): After the access cavity Sample 1 will be taken, after 15 minutes (T1) mechanical instrumentation will be done and Sample 2 will be taken, after 5 minutes from T1 (T2) final irrigation will be done and Sample 3 will be taken.
