About

The participants were divided into two groups: Group I (cryotherapy) (n =10) after the completion of the mechanical preparation intra oral cryotherapy was applied. Group II (control) (n =10) received standard root canal treatment without the application of any type of cryotherapy.

Full description

1-Patients selection: 20 patients with symptomatic apical peridontitis related to mandibular premolars were selected . After proper anestehsia, Access cavity preparation was performed. The working length measured using apex locator. chemicomechanical preparation was done. for cryotherapy group: cold pack (ice gel enveloped by a sealed plastic cover) measuring 2.5 x 5 centimetres was placed intraorally on the vestibular surface of the treated tooth for a total time of 30 minutes. apical fluid sample was collected by paper point and the root canal was then filled using gutta percha and resin-based sealer.The access cavity was sealed using glass ionomer restoration. for the control group normal treatment was done and apical fluid was collested also before obturation.
