Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in bacterial count.

    Quantitative.(Colony Forming Unit ) take sample by paper point before and after irrigation by control of interventional

    Day 1

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • post operative pain evaluation

    6,12,24,48,72 hour

Study Arms (2)

Sodium hypochlorite Irrigation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

standardized pulpectomy procedure will be performed using a large sterile round end bur in a high-speed handpiece with copious irrigation, and a sharp spoon excavator will remove pulpal tissues to the orifice level , the working lengths of root canals were estimated by apex locator and Cleaning and shaping of the root canals was done by rotary files .The pre - irrigation sample were collected after debridement of the radicular pulp tissues by a sterile paper point ,then Second microbial sample : The canals were irrigated with Sodium hypochlorite Irrigation (group A) .All the microbiological culturing procedures were carried out in the Microbiology and Immunology Department , the plates were examined and the colonies were directly counted using colony forming unit .

Other: Irrigation

Cinnamon extract Irrigation

SHAM COMPARATOR

standardized pulpectomy procedure will be performed using a large sterile round end bur in a high-speed handpiece with copious irrigation, and a sharp spoon excavator will remove pulpal tissues to the orifice level , the working lengths of root canals were estimated by apex locator and Cleaning and shaping of the root canals was done by rotary files .The pre - irrigation sample were collected after debridement of the radicular pulp tissues by a sterile paper point ,then Second microbial sample : The canals were irrigated with cinnamon Irrigation (group B) . All the microbiological culturing procedures were carried out in the Microbiology and Immunology Department , the plates were examined and the colonies were directly counted using colony forming unit .

Other: Irrigation

Interventions

Cinnamon to be prepared were mixed with 50% ethanol and this suspension was placed on the magnetic stirrer for 4 hours.Whitman's filter paper was used to obtain the filtrate which was then dried to obtain the extract. The extract was dried to evaporate the solvent to prevent the influence of extracting agent (ethanol) on the final extract. Cinnamon extract was obtained using cinnamon bark which was pulverized into medium coarse granules. The extracting agent and the procedure to obtain the final extract.These extracts were stored in dark coloured bottles at 4 degree Celsius until use.
