NCT03423329

Brief Summary

This Randomized study was designed to assess and compare the effect of two analgesic premedications (Ibuprofen BP 100 mg/5 ml and Paracetamol 200 mg/5ml.) on the anesthetic efficacy of buccal infiltration in vital pulpotomy of primary mandibular molars in children . A multivitamin with the same color as the twp tested medications will be administered to children in the control group. Parents of eligible children will be informed about the nature of the procedure, the purpose of the study, any possible discomfort or risks and a signed informed consent will be obtained from them prior to enrollment.
