Evaluation of Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair Techniques Versus Pulpectomy in Primary Molars With Inflammed Pulp

Egypt66 participantsStarted 2022-09-20

Plain-language summary

Group I (Experimental group I): Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair with radicular instrumentation. Coronal and accessible radicular pulp tissue are extirpated using rotary files. After proper drying, the paste is placed in the cavity and canals. Group II (Experimental group II): Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair with no radicular instrumentation. Only the coronal pulp is removed, the pulpal floor is covered with triple antibiotic paste with propylene glycol mix. Group III (Control group): Conventional pulpectomy. Pulp tissue extirpation is done. Biomechanical preparation is done using rotary files with frequent irrigation with Chlorhexidine. The canals are dried using sterile absorbent paper points followed by obturation by the paste of Zinc oxide and eugenol.
