Brief Summary  

In this randomized controlled trial, 27 patients diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis requiring root canal treatment for teeth with single root will be recruited from the opd . After access opening and biomechanical preparation, the patients will be randomly divided into the three groups based on the final irrigation protocol. 3 mL of 3% NaOCl will be dispensed into the canal and activated using following irrigation activation technique:

GROUP I: Conventional irrigation method (control group) using 30G side vented needle.

GROUP II: XP-Endo Finisher file. (experimental group)

GROUP III: Laser Activated Irrigation. (experimental group)

 A 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS) will be used for pain assessment. The pain scores will be assessed postoperatively after 24 and 48 h telephonically.
