Brief summary
The aim of this study is to assess the clinical and radiographic effectiveness of Chitosan films compared with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as dressing material in Primary Molars pulpotomy. Randomized controlled clinical trial The null hypothesis tested is that there is no statistically significant difference in clinical and radiographic success rates between Chitosan films and MTA.
Interventions
Second primary carious molars in children aged 5 - 8 years will be randomly divided into 2 groups:
Arm1: (0.2 g Chitosan)
Arm2: (0.2 g Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA))
Each patient will receive vital pulpotomy in both second primary molars; in a split mouth design.
Intra- and extraoral examinations of patients will be performed before the treatment and their initial radiologic examinations will be performed.
Regional anesthesia will be performed, all cavity lesions will be removed, and an acces
Second primary carious molars in children aged 5 - 8 years will be randomly divided into 2 groups: Arm1: (0.2 g Chitosan) Arm2: (0.2 g Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)) Each patient will receive vital pulpotomy in both second primary molars; in a split mouth design. Intra- and extraoral examinations of patients will be performed before the treatment and their initial radiologic examinations will be performed. Regional anesthesia will be performed, all cavity lesions will be removed, and an access cavity will be prepared under the isolation of rubber dam. A low-speed sterile round bur will be used for removing coronal pulp. bleeding will be stopped using Sterile cotton pellets moistened with sterile saline. Then, pulp stumps will be covered with either chitosan films, or MTA. All pulpotomized teeth will be restored with stainless steel crowns. Interventions will be done by a pediatric dentistry resident and will take place in faculty of dentistry at Damascus university. Clinical and radiographic evaluation will be performed after 3, 6 and 9 Months
