Brief Summary  
Background: After any initiated root canal procedure, chances of pain are present which may last for 2-5 days post the treatment.
Also, after effective appropriate root canal procedure, the periapical lesion should resolve over a period of time

Purpose: This randomized clinical trial aims to assess the effectiveness of nitrofurantoin and nitrofurantoin impregnated silver nanoparticles in the reduction of post operative pain and also in resolution of periapical lesion. By comparing outcomes with conventional method, we aim to identify the optimal approach for improving patient comfort and treatment success rate in endodontic practice.
