Official Title: Healing Rates After Single Versus Multiple Visits Endodontic Treatment of Necrotic Teeth With Apical Periodontitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Brief Summary: Healing rate after single visit or multiple visit endodontic treatment using triple paste intracanal medicament will be assessed both clinically and radio-graphically for follow-up period up to one year

Detailed Summary: Patients with necrotic teeth with apical periodontitis will be selected according to the eligibility criteria and patients are then randomized to either single visit or multiple visit using triple paste intracanal medicament. Postoperative pain will then assessed using numerical rating scale after 1, 2, 3 and 7 days post-instrumentation. Radiographic healing will be assessed every 3 months up to one year.

Current Primary Outcome:

• postoperative pain [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
  using numerical rating scale from 0-10
• postoperative pain [ Time Frame: 48 hours ]
  using numerical rating scale from 0-10
• postoperative pain [ Time Frame: 72 hours ]
  using numerical rating scale from 0-10
• postoperative pain [ Time Frame: 7 days ]
  using numerical rating scale from 0-10

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

• Radiographic healing [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
  using digital radiography

  using digital radiography
• Radiographic healing [ Time Frame: 9 months ]
  using digital radiography
• Radiographic healing [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  using digital radiography
