Study Overview
Brief Summary
This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the radiographic quality of root canal obturation in mandibular second primary molars using three different obturating materials in children aged 4 to 7years. Eligible children requiring pulpectomy will be randomly allocated into three groups. Each group will receive root canal obturation with one of the study materials following standardized clinical procedures. The primary outcome will be the radiographic assessment of obturation quality immediately after treatment. The findings of this study are expected to provide evidence on the relative effectiveness of different obturating materials in pediatric endodontic treatment.
