Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

the aim of this study is to compare the effect of using Diclofenac Sodium Versus Calcium Hydroxide as Intracanal medication on intensity of postoperative pain, bacterial load reduction after root canal preparation and periapical matrix metalloproteinase 9 level (MMP-9) post-instrumentation and pre-obturation in teeth with necrotic pulp

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To compare the effect of diclofenac sodium versus calcium hydroxide as intra canal medication on:

\- Primary Outcome Intensity of postoperative pain will be measured using numerical rating scale (NRS) at 6, 12, 24 and 48- hours post-instrumentation and at 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post-obturation.

Secondary Outcome 1 Bacterial load reduction will be determined by bacterial counting using agar culture technique after root canal preparation (CFU/ml).

Secondary Outcome 2 Periapical MMP-9 level will be determined post-instrumentation and pre-obturation by ELISA.

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Investigators
* In this proposed study, both the participant and assessor will be blinded. This is achieved where the outcome assessor will not be informed of the group in which the participant is enrolled for subjective outcomes. The participants will be blinded to the study hypothesis as to which intervention is expected to be better.
* The patients who already do not know their treatment group will assess the level of their post-operative pain.
* The laboratory technician at the microbiological department will not know the treatment group of the patients.
* The treatment groups will remain anonymous at the end of the study during assessment by the statistician.
