Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how different ways of activating the cleaning liquid (irrigation) during endodontic treatment affect healing of infections at the root tip (periapical lesions) in adults aged 20 to 40 with a lower first molar tooth.

The main question it aims to answer is:

Does the way the cleaning liquid is moved inside the tooth during endodontic treatment change how well the infection at the root tip heals after 12 months?

Researchers will compare four irrigation methods to see which one helps the infection heal best:

A regular needle and syringe (the standard endodontic method) Ultra X, which uses sound waves to push the liquid through the tooth Endo Vac, which uses gentle suction to pull the liquid through the tooth I Vac, which combines suction and sound waves

Participants will:

Have their endodontic treatment done in one visit by the same dentist Be randomly placed into one of the four groups Return for check-ups at 3, 6, and 9 months after endodontic treatment Come back at 12 months for a final check-up and a 3D dental scan (CBCT) to measure how much the infection has healed
