ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different methods for a dental procedure called pulpectomy, which is used to treat primary molars (the back teeth in children) that have severe decay or infection. The trial will compare a newer technique using a special rotary file tool (Group A) to the traditional method using manual hand files (Group B). The goal is to see which method works better in terms of success rates, meaning how well the treatment helps the tooth heal.

To be eligible for this study, children must have specific conditions: their primary molars should have deep cavities with irreversible pulpitis (a painful infection), but they should not have certain issues like root damage or very bad tooth conditions. Participants can expect to have their teeth treated in one visit, and the doctors will check on their progress afterward to see how well the treatments worked. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, so families will need to wait for further announcements if they are interested.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Absence of external or internal root resorption
• • 2. presence of two thirds of the root
• • 3. Primary molars with deep caries and irreversible pulpitis that require pulpectomy in a single visit. Molars can be vital with a history of spontaneous pain or non-vital as indicated by absence of bleeding from the pulp.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • Children with physical, intellectual disability or medical conditions that may complicate treatment.
• • Teeth with poor prognosis due to the presence of a sinus, excessive mobility or advanced bone resorption.
• • Teeth with radiolucent areas in furcation regions.
