The objective of this study is to investigate \"clinically\" the effectiveness of Asiaticoside based intracanal medication compared to the commonly used intracanal medicaments (calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 and Ledermix) on the levels of bacteria and inflammatory cytokines in root canals and periradicular tissues of teeth with apical periodontitis.
