Inclusion Criteria:
* \- Medically free patients.
* Mandibular permanent molar teeth:
* Diagnosed clinically with pulp necrosis.
* Absence of spontaneous pain.
* Slight widening in the periodontal membrane space or with periapical radiolucency
* Patient's age ranges between 22 to 45 years with no sex predilection.
* Patients who can understand Modified Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
* Patients' acceptance to participate in the trial.
* Patients able to sign informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
* \- Medically compromised patients: Pain levels and healing following treatment would be compromised as these patients have shown higher incidence of pain and lower healing rate.
* Pregnant women: Avoid radiation exposure, anesthesia, and medication.
* If analgesics or antibiotics have been administrated by the patient during the past 24 hours preoperatively might alter their pain perception.
* Patients reporting bruxism or clenching: Avoid further pressure on an already inflamed tooth inducing subsequent irritation and inflammation.
* Teeth that show association with acute periapical abscess and swelling: Need special treatment steps which could involve additional visits with incision and drainage. Also, it could influence initiation and progression of postoperative pain.
* Greater than grade I mobility or pocket depth greater than 5mm. Need special surgical and/or periodontal therapy.
* No restorability: Hopeless tooth.
* Vital teeth.
* Immature teeth.
* Radiographic evidence of ex…
