ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to compare the effectiveness of different treatments used inside decayed primary (baby) teeth that have become infected. Specifically, it looks at three types of medications: Calcium Hydroxide, Chlorhexidine, and Modified Triple Antibiotic Paste. The goal is to see which combination of these treatments works best to reduce harmful bacteria, particularly a type called Enterococcus faecalis, and to determine how well these treatments help the tooth heal over a year.

To be eligible for this study, children must have certain issues with their primary molars, such as severe decay leading to pulp necrosis (dead nerve tissue), and they must show signs of pain. However, children who have health problems that make them uncooperative, or who have teeth that are too damaged or already need to be removed, will not be included. Participants can expect to undergo a procedure called pulpectomy, where the infected pulp is removed and treated, and they will be followed up for one year to monitor the tooth's healing process. Remember, this trial is not yet recruiting participants, so more information will be available in the future.
