Brief Summary

Primary molars with necrotic pulp or abscess are common unfortunate event faced in pediatric dentistry .The traditional treatment is either pulpectomy or extraction. ٍuccess of pulpectomy treatment is about 85% in abscessed primary teeth. The aim of pulpectomy is to preserve teeth in a symptom free state until they are replaced by their successor naturally during the transition from primary to permanent dentition, thus avoiding extraction. The adequate restoration of the involved teeth may preserve the arch length reestablish the masticatory function and esthetics and prevent harmful tongue habits and speech alterations due to anterior teeth decay.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • postoperative pain

    spontaneous pain, as reported by the caregivers through visual analogue score (VAS)from 1 to 10 where 1 means : minimal pain , 10 means:: severe pain

    first week after treatment, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Root resorption

    preoperative, 3rd month, 6 month, 12 month

  • Bone resorption

    preoperative, 3 , 6 , 12 month

Study Arms (2)

Group( 1): Control Group (pulpectomy using zic oxide eugenol based sealer Zical):

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Local anesthesia administration and rubber dam isolation will be carried out Access cavity will be prepared, necrotic pulp tissue will be removed using a sterile sharp spoon excavator. Cleaning and shaping of the root canals will be carried out using H files and continuous irrigation. Canal irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite will be carried out throughout the procedure. Sterile paper points will be used to dry the root canals. Zinc oxide eugenol based sealer (Zical) will be mixed into a thick paste and packed into the pulp chamber to fill the canal. (Chen\& Zhong., 2017; Pramila., 2015) The access opening will be sealed with a glass ionomer cement , and the tooth will be restored with a stainless steel crown.

Other: Group( 1): Control Group (pulpectomy using zic oxide eugenol based sealer Zical):

Group ( 2) Experimental group modified 3-MIX-TATIN):

EXPERIMENTAL

dified 3Mix-tatin will be prepared by mixing three commercially available antibiotics with simvastatin. After removing the coating materials, 3 types of antibiotics are pulverized by porcelain mortars and pestles to achieve fine powders. A total of 100 mg ciprofloxacin, 100 mg metronidazole, and 100 mg cefixime will be mixed in a ratio of 1: 1: 1. Two milligrams of simvastatin will be added to the drugs blend to form 3-Mix-tatin. Preparation of 3Mix-tatin will be trained and supervised by an expert pharmacist. 3Mixtatin will be stored in a tightly capped porcelain container, adding of silica gel in a bag inside the container to maintain low humidity. This powder will be mixed with zinc oxide eugenol based sealer called Zical which will act as a carrier or vehicle to form a creamy paste of 3Mixtatin at the time of application (Aminabadi et al., 2015; carvalho., 2016).

Other: Group ( 2) Experimental group modified 3-MIX-TATIN):

Interventions

Zinc oxide eugenol based sealer (Zical) will be mixed into a thick paste and packed into the pulp chamber to fill the canal.

Group( 1): Control Group (pulpectomy using zic oxide eugenol based sealer Zical):

Modified 3Mix-tatin will be prepared by mixing three commercially available antibiotics with simvastatin. This powder will be mixed with zinc oxide eugenol based sealer called Zical which will act as a carrier or vehicle to form a creamy paste of 3Mixtatin at the time of application
