NCT06714305

Brief Summary

To provide an effective technique for pulpectomy in primary second molar teeth in pakistani population, local studies are required. No local studies have been done so far and limited number of international in vivo studies have been conducted previously. Hence this study will evaluate the effectiveness of this technique in pakistani population. If results of this study will be significant in favor of this technique, it will be applied with confidence in same population. There will be better compliance of patients as procedure will be done in single visit.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To compare the effectiveness of manual versus rotary instrumentation for pulpectomy in primary second molar teeth irreversible pulpitis

    Effectiveness of instruments will be determined by analyzing the adequacy of root canal filling. Adequacy will be checked immediately after root canal filling on periapical radiographs by measuring with scale the distance of root canal filling from apex to length of filling material in both mesial and distal roots. If distance is less than 2.5 mm, it will be called as effective.

    immediately after obturation

Study Arms (2)

Group A will be assigned to hand instrumentation.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

the canal will be prepared by hand hedstorm files, manually by step back technique.

Device: will be assigned to rotary instrumentation.

rotary instrumentation of primary second molar tooth

EXPERIMENTAL

NiTi rotary protaper system will be used for canal preparation by crown down technique in primary second molar tooth

Device: Group B will be assigned to rotary instrumentation.

Interventions

group B, NiTi rotary protaper system will be used for canal preparation by crown down technique.

rotary instrumentation of primary second molar tooth

the canal will be prepared by conventional hedstorm files manually by step back technique.

Group A will be assigned to hand instrumentation.
