Study Overview
Brief Summary
This randomized controlled trial compares calcium hydroxide and silver diamine fluoride (38% and 1:10%) as indirect pulp-capping agents in primary molars. A total of 33 teeth will be randomly assigned to three groups. Procedures include local anesthesia, rubber dam isolation , infected dentin removal, material application, and final restoration with a stainless steel crown.
Patients will be reviewed at 3 and 6 months, and clinical and radiographic evaluations will be performed to assess success. Double blinding will be implemented and the outcomes will be based on pain,inflammation,mobility , restoration retention, and radiographic changes
