This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of supra periosteal injection of dexamethasone versus placebo in reducing post operative pain in teeth diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. A total of 44 patients will be randomly assigned into two groups: Group A will receive a supra periosteal injection of dexamethasone(4mg/ml), and Group B will receive a similar injection of normal saline as placebo. post operative pain will be assessed at 6hr,24hr and 48hr using a VAS Analogue Scale, with the final outcome measured at 24hrs. the study will help determine whether local dexamethasone injection is effective in minimizing postoperative pain
