NCT03833557

Brief Summary

A randomized clinical trial was carried out on 72 second primary molars indicated for pulpotomy divided into three equal groups (n=24) . First group received Nanohydroxyapatite as a pulpotomy agent , second group received Mineral Trioxide Aggregate ( MTA) \& the third received Formocresol pulpotomy. All pulpotomized teeth were finally restored with stainless steel crowns. Subjects were monitored clinically and radiographically at one, three , six \& 12 months.

Study Arms (3)

Nanohydroxyapatite Pulpotomy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Biphasic calcium phosphate. Straumann BoneCeramic Regenerative Pulpotomy of 24 mandibular second primary molars using Nanohydroxyapatite In Group 1: 24 mandibular second primary molars Caries removal and deroofing of pulp chamber Following the manufacturer's instructions, Nanohydroxyapatite was mixed with distilled water to homogeneous consistency then introduced into the pulp chamber and condensed properly against the pulp orifices. All Molars were finally restored with stainless steel crowns cemented with GI cement . An immediate postoperative radiograph using periapical film size two was taken. Clinical and radiographic evaluation: All treated patients were followed up at one, three , six \& 12 months after the pulpotomy

Procedure: Nanohydroxyapatite Pulpotomy

MTA Pulpotomy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Angelus Grey MTA , Regenerative Pulpotomy Pulpotomy of 24 mandibular second primary molars using MTA Caries removal and deroofing of pulp chamber The MTA powder was mixed with sterile water in a 3:1 powder/water ratio according to the manufacturer's instructions to obtain a thick creamy paste, then placed on the floor of the pulp chamber using a messing gun and compacted against the pulp orifices with a condenser over a moist cotton pellet. All Molars were finally restored with stainless steel crowns cemented with GI cement . An immediate postoperative radiograph using periapical film size two was taken. Clinical and radiographic evaluation at one, three ,six \& 12 months after pulpotomy.

Procedure: MTA pulpotomy

Formocresl Pulpotomy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Buckley' s Formocresol , Fixation pulpotomy Pulpotomy of 24 mandibular second primary molars using Formocresol Caries removal and deroofing of pulp chamber A cotton pellet with formocresol was placed on the pulp stumps then removed and ZO/E dressing was condensed against the pulp stumps. All Molars were finally restored with stainless steel crowns cemented with GI cement . An immediate postoperative radiograph using periapical film size two was taken. Clinical and radiographic evaluation: All treated patients were followed up at one, three , six \& 12 months after the pulpotomy for clinical and radiographic evaluation. Independently, two examiners evaluated the teeth clinically and radiographically.

Procedure: Formocresol Pulpotomy
