The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of CTZ Paste in primary teeth, compared to endodontic treatment with Guedes-Pinto Paste. This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind (patient), controlled and non-inferiority clinical study on 174 primary molars and 174 primary incisors of 3-6 years-old children with carious lesions with pulp involvement. The sample unit will be the tooth, which will be randomized into two groups. The teeth allocated to the experimental group will be treated with CTZ Paste, whereas the treatment of those teeth allocated to the control group will employ the Guedes-Pinto Paste. The procedures performed will be evaluated clinically and radiographically at 6 and 12 months. Secondary outcomes such as cost, discomfort, satisfaction and quality of life will also be evaluated.
