Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The study will delineate the relationship between obturating material and primary teeth resorption. This study will also explain whether combination of ZOE and metapex is a better choice than ZOE and Metapex alone.Timepoint: recall after 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 15 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is hypothesized that primary molars obturated with a combination of zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) & Metapex in varying concentrations will demonstrate a more favorable root resorption rate than those in the control group.Timepoint: recall after 3 months, 6months, 12 months & 15 months followup | — |
