After the biomechanical preparation, the above mentioned irrigant was used. On the visual analogue scale, participants were asked to rank the intensity of their discomfort following the procedure before, after 6 h and 24 h after the procedure. The outcomes were dissected utilizing ANOVA test.

Result: Both the regimens were successful in reducing post endodontic soreness associated with infected teeth.
