Brief summary
The study will be self-funded by investigator and carried out on patients from outpatient clinic in Pediatric Dentistry and Public Health Department- Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University- Egypt. The procedures will be carried out by postgraduate student Rawda Nader Fathy who has B.D.S. (2011) -Alexandria University- Egypt. The procedures will be carried out on a Knight Midmark Biltmore dental unit (Midmark Corporation 1700 S. Patterson Blvd. Suite 400 Dayton, Ohio 45409, USA) in the post graduate clinic of Pediatric Dentistry and Public Health Department- Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University- Egypt.
Interventions
DRUGPropolis
One and half gram of Standardized Propolis Extract powder (Y.S. Eco Bee Farms Propolis Powder) at 100% was mixed with 1.75 mL of polyethylene glycol (Continental Chemicals, New Delhi, India) to form a thick consistency on a clean dry glass slab with a metal spatula. The paste was carried to the pulp stumps with a metal carrier and then condensed lightly to a thickness of 2 - 3 mm followed by placement of thick mix of GIC to seal the cavity and covered by st.st crown.
DRUGMineral Trioxide Aggregate
MTA paste will be prepared as per the manufacturers' instructions to obtain a putty-like consistency. The mixture will be delivered to the pulp stumps and condensed lightly with a moistened sterile cotton pellet to ensure a thickness of 2 to 3 mm. A thick mix of glass ionomer cement (GIC) will applied over the MTA and covered by st.st crown.
