Non-Vital Tooth Clinical Trial
Official title:
Turmeric Gel as Alternative Non-Vital Pulpotomy Medicament in Primary Teeth-A Randomized Controlled Trial
The purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to use Turmeric gel as non-vital Pulpotomy medicament compared to Formocresol in primary teeth by evaluating its antibacterial effect against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus. It is hypothesized that there is no difference in the antibacterial effect of Turmeric gel compared with Formocresol, when used as non-vital Pulpotomy medicaments.
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 (Formocresol) 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). ;
