Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria for this study require children aged 3 to 9 years who need pulpectomy in primary mandibular molars. Eligible teeth must have non-vital or irreversibly inflamed pulp, sufficient crown structure for restoration, and radiographic findings showing non-perforated pulpal involvement with minimal root resorption (less than one-third of root length). Systemically healthy children with no medical contraindications to dental treatment will be included, provided their parents or guardians give written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria include grossly decayed teeth with inadequate structure for restoration, perforated pulpal floors, or extensive internal/external root resorption exceeding one-third of the root length. Teeth with advanced periapical pathology, such as cystic lesions, will also be excluded. Systemic conditions such as immunocompromised states, bleeding disorders, or metabolic diseases will disqualify participants, as well as any known allergies to the obturation materials. Uncooperative children requiring sedation or general anesthesia will not be included. Additionally, teeth that have undergone previous pulpectomy or other endodontic treatments will be excluded. Lastly, children whose parents or guardians cannot commit to follow-up visits will not be eligible for participation.
