Detailed Description

Study Design: Intervention Research Question : To investigate whether the use of 2% chlorhexidine and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite can improve the clinical and radiographic outcome after partial caries removal in deep carious lesion P (Population) - Mature Permanent Mandibular molars with deep carious lesion involving inner two third of dentine I (Intervention) - - Partial caries removal using 2% chlorhexidine/5.25% sodium hypochlorite as cavity disinfectant..

C (Comparison) - Partial caries removal using saline as cavity disinfectant. O (Outcome) - Assessment of clinical and radiographic success at 12 months follow up.

-To assess incidence and reduction in pain post operatively at every 24 hours till 1 week.

Clinical success criteria12 months

No history of spontaneous pain or discomfort except for the initial days after treatment.

No tenderness to palpation or percussion and the tooth is functional. Normal mobility and probing pocket depth. Soft tissues around tooth are normal with no swelling or sinus tract.

Radiographic success criteria12mnths

No pathosis evident on the radiograph such as root resorption, furcal pathosis or new periapical pathosis.

Periapical Index score 1 or 2 according to OrstavicKet al.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain assesment7 days

Patients will be informed that they may experience pain in the days after treatment and will be instructed to record their pain at 24 h, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days after the treatment, to be submitted after 1 week.

They will be requested to note down the details of analgesic intake on the pain form regarding the number of doses required, timing of the dose and whether it provided adequate pain relief or not (yes/no) Visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 100 will be used to record preoperative and post -operative pain.
