ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating the effectiveness of cinnamon extract compared to sodium hypochlorite, a common dental disinfectant, as a treatment during a specific procedure called pulpectomy. This procedure is performed on children who have serious tooth issues, such as irreversible pulpitis (inflammation of the tooth's inner tissue) and cavities in their primary (baby) molars. The main goal is to see which of these treatments can better reduce bacteria in the tooth after the procedure.

To be eligible for this study, children aged 4 to 8 years old must be in good health and able to cooperate during dental treatments. Their teeth should have signs of serious decay and pain, and they should not have taken antibiotics recently. Parents will need to provide written consent for their children to participate. If enrolled, participants can expect to receive either the cinnamon extract or sodium hypochlorite as part of their treatment, and their dental health will be monitored throughout the study. This research may provide valuable insights into alternative treatments for dental issues in young children.
