The objective of this study is to investigate "clinically" the effectiveness of Oleanolic acid based intracanal medicament compared to the commonly used intracanal medicaments (Calcium hydroxide and Ledermix) on the levels of bacteria in root canals and inflammatory cytokines in the periradicular tissues of teeth with apical periodontitis.

| Root canal treatment | Procedure | Root canal treatments with administration of intracanal medicaments |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Relief of signs and symptoms of apical periodontitis | Absence of discomfort with percussion, Absence of inflammatory exudate from the root canal. | 1 Week |
| Decrease in bacterial count within the root canal. | A sample will be taken from the canal to assess the decrease in bacterial count inside the root canal by the effect of intracanal medicament. | 1 week |
| Decrease in interleukin TNF-alpha, IL-1 Beta and PG-E2 in the periapical tissues | A sample will be taken from the periapical region to detect the effect of the intracanal medicaments in reducing inflammation and promoting healing in the periapical region. | 1 week |
