Detailed description

the purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of 2.5c cold saline irrigation as a final irrigant on postoperative pain after single visit root canal treatment of teeth with vital pulp and apical periodontitis .thirty patients will be included in the study .the teeth will be divided into 2 groups (i.e the control group and the cryotherapy group ) in the cryotherapy group ,final irrigation with 2.5c cold saline solution for 5 mins will be performed following completion of biomechanical preparation whereas in control group same solution stored at room temperature will be used . treatment will be done in a single visit then participants will be asked to rate the intensity of postoperative pain using numerical rating scale at 6,12,24,48 hrs
