Clinical Trial Summary
The purpose of the study is to use Allium sativum oil and Turmeric gel as non-vital Pulpotomy
medicaments in primary teeth by evaluating their antibacterial effect against Streptococcus
mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus.
It is hypothesized that there is no difference in the antibacterial effect of Allium sativum
oil and Turmeric gel when used as non-vital Pulpotomy medicaments.
Description:
It is a multi-arm parallel Randomized Controlled Trial in which forty patients aged between 4
to 8 years, each containing at-least one non-vital primary molar, will be selected and
randomly divided into Group A (Allium sativum oil) and Group B (Turmeric gel). Non-vital
Pulpotomy will be performed by removing the coronal necrotic pulp. Sterile paper point will
be dipped in the root canals and taken to the laboratory. Cotton pellets soaked in the
respective medicaments will be placed over the root canal orifices and filled temporarily.
Patients will be recalled after one week. Samples will be again taken, and tooth restored.
Comparison between bacterial count at baseline and after one week of treatment will be made
and expressed as Colony-Forming Units/ml (CFU/ml).
