This randomized clinical study evaluates the antibacterial effectiveness and postoperative pain following root canal irrigation using the Triton irrigation protocol in necrotic mandibular molars. Thirty-six patients requiring root canal treatment will be included. The study aims to compare bacterial reduction and postoperative pain outcomes after treatment. Results may help improve irrigation protocols and patient comfort during endodontic therapy.
Root canal disinfection is a critical factor affecting the success of endodontic treatment, especially in teeth with necrotic pulps. Irrigation protocols play an essential role in reducing bacterial load inside the root canal system. The Triton irrigation protocol has been introduced to enhance antimicrobial effectiveness and improve debris removal. This randomized clinical trial will include 36 patients diagnosed with necrotic mandibular molars indicated for root canal treatment. Participants will receive treatment following the assigned irrigation protocol. Bacterial samples will be collected before and after irrigation to evaluate antibacterial effectiveness. Postoperative pain will be assessed using a standardized pain scale during the follow-up period. The findings of this study are expected to provide clinical evidence regarding the effectiveness of the Triton irrigation protocol in improving disinfection outcomes and reducing postoperative discomfort

antibacterial effect
Reduction in bacterial count will be evaluated by microbiological sampling before and after irrigation.
Time frame: immediately after irrigation procedures
postoperative pain intensity
Postoperative pain will be assessed using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) following root canal treatment with different irrigation protocols.
Time frame: 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after treatment
