What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two irrigation systems, GentleWave and EdgePro, in disinfecting root canals of permanent teeth diagnosed with pulp necrosis. Participants will undergo nonsurgical root canal treatment, where the efficacy of these irrigation methods will be compared. The study will include patients who provide informed consent and meet specific inclusion criteria, while excluding those with certain dental conditions. The goal is to determine which irrigation system better reduces bacterial load in infected root canals.
