Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate clinical and radiographic success of using 3Mixtain versus mineral trioxide aggregate in pulpotomy of deeply carious Primary molars.

Detailed Description

Due to the complexity of the root canal microbiome, it is doubtful that they can be treated properly with a single antibiotic. Accordingly, a combination of multiple antibiotics seemed to be essential to diminish different types of pathogenic bacteria. Recently, a combination of three antibiotics (Metronidazole, cefixime, and Ciprofloxacin) along with Statins (new bio-inductive materials in regenerative dentistry) has shown promising results in primary teeth pulp therapy.

Statin components have an anti-inflammatory impact on pulp tissue by lowering the amount of interleukin-6 and interleukin-8. They also decrease osteoclastic processes and strengthen osteoblastic processes. Thus, they promote bone regeneration and dentin formation by enhancing odontoblastic activity. Several studies have shown a clinical and radiographic success rate of 3Mixtatin with inconsistent results. Some randomized controlled Trials (RCTs) showed that MTA had a comparable result with 3Mixtatin, while others reported that 3Mixtatin might be an alternative for MTA due to its higher overall success rate. 3Mixtatin is considered as a novel material with successful outcomes. Owing to limited availability of data in researches and in order to reach a conclusive results our study aims to evaluate clinical and radiographic success of using 3Mixtain versus mineral trioxide aggregate in pulpotomy of deeply carious Primary molars .

Exclusion Criteria
  • • Uncooperative children to avoid time waste and attrition bias.

    • Unrestorable molars
