Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Irreversible Pulpitis (toothache)

• Registration Number: NCT06714305
• Lead Sponsor: RANA AHMAD

Brief Summary

To provide an effective technique for pulpectomy in primary second molar teeth in pakistani population, local studies are required. No local studies have been done so far and limited number of international in vivo studies have been conducted previously. Hence this study will evaluate the effectiveness of this technique in pakistani population.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To compare the effectiveness of manual versus rotary instrumentation for pulpectomy in primary second molar teeth irreversible pulpitis	immediately after obturation	Effectiveness of instruments will be determined by analyzing the adequacy of root canal filling. Adequacy will be checked immediately after root canal filling on periapical radiographs by measuring with scale the distance of root canal filling from apex to length of filling material in both mesial and distal roots. If distance is less than 2.5 mm, it will be called as effective.
