The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluation aloe vera as intracanal medication anti-inflammatory also inter-appointment pain incidence compared with calcium hydroxide. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does aloe vera reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-1b)? Researchers will compare aloe vera to calcium hydroxide intra-canal medication to see if it works to modulate the inflammatory response in necrotic teeth with apical periodontitis.
Participants will:
Receive the intra-canal medications following root canal preparation for 14 days, periapical tissue fluid samples will be collected after access cavity preparation and 14days post medication placement.
Pre-operative pain level and 24h, 48h post medication placement will be recorded.
