Plain-language summary
This study aims to research the effect of different instrument designs by comparing protaper ultimate versus protaper gold systems on root canal preparation by evaluating bacterial count reduction and post-operative pain following single visit treatment in patients with necrotic pulp in maxillary premolar teeth.

Post Operative Pain
Timeframe: Postoperative pain will be measured by modified Visual Analogue Scale immediately after the end of treatment, and at 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours.
