Brief Summary  

Thirty patients with thirty single rooted teeth of the age 15-50 years will be selected for the study. Prior clearance of the protocol from the Ethical committee and informed consent from each patient will be taken.

                           

Inclusion criteria:  Patients with non-contributory medical history, intact permanent teeth without any previous restoration, teeth with necrotic or infected pulp as diagnosed clinically and radiographically, teeth with adequate coronal structure for proper isolation, temporization, and restoration will be included.

 

Exclusion criteria : Patients with systemic conditions, acute periapical abscess, retreatment cases, patients on antibiotic therapy within three months, teeth with calcified canals, sinus opening, immature apex, internal or external resorption or periodontal pockets >5 mm will be excluded.

 

 INSTRUMENTATION:

FIRST TREATMENT SESSION:

Each tooth will be anaesthetized and isolated with rubber dam followed by caries removal. Oral cavity along with the experimental tooth will be disinfected with the Betadine solution. Access cavity will be prepared and the working length will be determined radiographically by using size #10 K-file to the apex; this length will be premeasured and the working length will be set 1mm short of this distance. Pretreatment Sample (S1) will be obtained by injecting normal saline (5ml) into the root canal and circumferentially pumping a #10 K-file (1 mm short of working length).  A sterile paper point will be inserted after immersing it into the transport media and placing into the canal for 60 sec. It will be immediately transported to the test tube containing transport media. Three paper point samples will be taken for each tooth. Biomechanical preparation will be done using step back technique up to master apical size #40.The two experimental solutions and chlorhexidine gluconate as the positive control will be used as irrigants as follows.

 Group I: 2% Chlorhexidine gluconate

Group II: Neem Juice extract

Group III: Tulsi juice extract

Irrigation will be done with 6ml of the irrigants. Followed by collection of post instrumentation sample (S2) in the same manner as S1. It will be sent to laboratory for processing within 2 hours. After second sampling, the canals will be dried and the two experimental solutions and chlorhexidine gluconate as the positive control will be used as medicaments and placed inside the root canals:

 Group I: 2% Chlorhexidine gluconate

Group II: Neem Juice extract

Group III: Tulsi juice extract

A cotton pellet will be placed inside the pulp chamber. Double seal of Cavit G will be placed.

SECOND TREATMENT SESSION-

Patients will be recalled after 7 days. After isolation and disinfection of the tooth and the oral cavity, the temporary restoration will be removed. Collection of post medication sample (S3) will be taken in the same manner as S1 and S2. Teeth will be obturated by lateral condensation technique using 2% GP and AH plus as sealer and restored with composite.

 

Microbiological samples (S1, S2, S3) will be preincubated for 30 minutes and shaken vigorously in a vortex mixture for 60 seconds and then will be plated on Brain heart infusion agar and colonies will be counted after 24 hours using classic bacterial counting method.
