  • PAIN

    post-operative pain is measured by using visual analogue scale (VAS) The modified VAS will include a 10 cm straight horizontal line numbered at each centimeter with following criteria: (0) for no pain, (1-3) for mild pain, (4-6) for moderate pain, (7-9) for severe tolerable pain and (10) for severe intolerable pain

    one week

Study Arms (4)

group I (control )

NO INTERVENTION

irrigation with 5% sodium hypochlorite at room temperature from the beginning of cleaning and shaping, between each file and till the final rinse

Group II

EXPERIMENTAL

irrigation with 5% cold sodium hypochlorite (2-5°C) from the beginning of cleaning and shaping and between each file. Final rinse was done by 20 mL of 5% cold sodium hypochlorite (2-5°C) for 5 minutes

Other: Cryotherapy

Group III

EXPERIMENTAL

irrigation with 5% sodium hypochlorite at room temperature from the beginning of cleaning and shaping and between each file. Then final rinse with 20 mL of 5% cold sodium hypochlorite (2-5°C) for 5 minutes

Other: Cryotherapy

Group IV

EXPERIMENTAL

irrigation with 5% sodium hypochlorite at room temperature from the beginning of cleaning and shaping and between each file. Then final rinse with 20 mL of cold saline (2-5°C) for 5 minutes
