Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • antibacterial activity

    antibacterial activity will be evaluated by Sampling and culture method. The samples will be subjected to microbiological analysis to ascertain their individual microbiological load after 24h, this will be analyzed by counting the colony forming units (CFUs).

    two samples will be taken at the same visit of endodontic treatment at day 1, the outcome measures will be assessed after 24h. the data will be reported after study compeletion about 1 year

Study Arms (2)

sodium hypochlorite

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL) is the most recommended irrigant due to its broad antibacterial effect, necrotic tissues and dentin collagen dissolving capability and inactivation of endotoxins.10ml of 2.5%NaOCL will be used during instrumentation in control group

Drug: Sodium Hypochlorite

chitosan nanoparticles

EXPERIMENTAL

Chitosan is a bioactive polymer obtained from deacetylation of chitin and is used in biomedical application due to its antimicrobial properties and biocompatibility and ability to resist aging for longer periods provide antibacterial effect in root canal disinfection.10ml of cs-np will be used during instrumentation in intervention group

Drug: chitosan nanoparticles
