    12th hours

  • Intensity of postoperative pain

    Intensity of postoperative pain after using two types of sealers will be measured using a visual analog scale (VAS) after treatment

    24th hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • intensity of postoperative pain

    48th hours

  • intensity of postoperative pain

    72nd hours

  • intensity of postoperative pain

Study Arms (2)

Ah-Plus sealer

EXPERIMENTAL

Root canal sealer which is a resin-based formula with excellent radiopacity , low shrinkage , low solubility and outstanding flow characteristics . It features a 1:1 , paste-to-paste mixing system for fast , easy preparation and less waste . It is biocompatible and silver free .

Other: Root canal obturation

Endosequence BC sealer

EXPERIMENTAL

It is a root canal sealer which is premixed ready-to-use injectable bioceramic cement paste developed for permanent root canal filling and sealing applications. It is insoluble , radiopaque and aluminum-free material based on calcium silicate composition , which requires the presence of water to set and hardens . It does not shrink during setting and demonstrate excellent physical properties .

Other: Root canal obturation
