Legends for tables:
Table- 1 shows the cultural characteristics and antimicrobials used.
Table- 2 shows the radiological extent of the disease, microbial profile
and antimicrobials during the course of the study.
Table- 3 shows statistically significant early response to treatment in
the surgical group in terms of resolution of pain, resolution of canal
edema and granulation and normal inflammatory markers and radiological
resolution of disease. * indicates statistically significant p-value.
Table- 4 shows faster resolution of pain, canal edema and inflammatory
markers and imaging in the surgical group with complete debridement. No
observations were statistically significant except for the resolution of
canal edema and granulation (p= 0.015). * shows statistically
significant p- value
