Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the post endodontic pain in patients presenting with irreversible pulpitis and undergoing root canal treatment with two techniques. One is rotary crown down technique and other is manual step back technique. Patients visiting OPD will be selected after fulfilment of inclusion criteria and randomly divided into two groups. In Group A rotary instrument with Crown Down approach is used and in Group B manual instrumentation with Step Back technique is used. Post endodontic pain will be graded using VAS scale at 4,12,24 and 48 hours.
