This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of regenerative endodontic treatment using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with conventional root canal treatment (RCT) in mature single-rooted teeth diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis and periapical lesions. The primary outcomes assessed will be post-operative pain and periapical healing. A total of 46 patients will be randomly assigned to either the PRP group or the RCT group. Pain will be recorded at baseline, 24, and 48 hours post-operatively using a numerical rating scale. Periapical healing will be evaluated clinically and radiographically at 1 and 6 months using the Periapical Index (PAI). The study aims to determine whether PRP-based regenerative therapy offers superior outcomes compared to conventional root canal therapy.
