Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the current study is evaluation and comparsion between two different paediatric rotary file systems and Manual K-file both clinically and radiographically .This study consist of two parts:I-In vivo part (RCT) II-In vitro part

The in-vivo part:

Its sample size was found to be 30 primary molars (10 teeth for each group)

Group1: Kedo S plus file study group (The teeth will be instrumented by Kedo S plus file) Group2: Kidzo file study group (The teeth will be instrumented by Kidzo file) Group3: Manual K-file control group (The teeth will be instrumented by Manual K-file)

Pulpectomy of primary molars according the protocol of individual group will be made, after that the teeth will be evaluated Immediately for :

1-Instrumentation time 2-Quality of obturation and evaluated at 1, 3, 6, 12 months for clinical and radiographic success

Description:

The aim of the current study is to evaluation and comparsion between two different paediatric rotary file systems (Kedo S plus file and Kidzo File) and Manual K-file both clinically and radiographically

Primary Objective:

Evaluation of clinical success, instrumentation time and quality of obturation of two different paediatric rotary file systems and manual K-file system in pulpectomy in primary molars both clinically and radiographically (In-vivo part of the study).

Testing hypothesis:

The null hypothesis (H 0 ): there is no difference in clinical success, instrumentation time ,quality of obturation and apical debris extrusion between the two different pediatric rotary systems and manual K-file system in pulpectomy in primary molars

PICOTS:

P - Participants: Children in the age group of 4-7 years having pulpally involved Primary teeth indicated for pulpectomy, I - Intervention: Pulpectomy procedure in primary molars using Kedo S plus file and Kidzo file.

C - Comparison: Manual K-file.

O- Outcomes:

• Clinical and Radiographic success

• Instrumentation time T- Clinical and radiographic follow up over 12-month period. S- Randomized clinical trial (RCT) and in-vitro study.

The predicted sample size was found to be 30 teeth (10 teeth per group) which was calculated by using G*Power version 3.1.9.7. Sample size will be increased by about 10% to compensate for the drop out.

Selection of primary molars, of 4 to 7 year old patients, following the inclusion criteria N=30

All Participant will be a randomly allocated into one of the either group (10 teeth in each group):

Group1: Kedo S plus file study group (The teeth will be instrumented by Kedo S plus file) Group2: Kidzo file study group (The teeth will be instrumented by Kidzo file) Group3: Manual K-file control group (The teeth will be instrumented by Manual K-file)

Pre-operative intraoral periapical radiograph for assessing the root structure and confirming the diagnosis of pulpal involvment

Pulpectomy of primary molars according the protocol of individual group

• Materials and Clinical procedures

In this study, the following materials will be used:

• Manual K-file

• Two different rotary paediatric file

• Endomotor with apexolocator

• Calcium hydroxide with iodoform paste

• Polymer Reinforced ZOE Cement (IRM)

• Glass Ionomer Cement

• Stainless Steel Crown Clinical procedure Group 1: (Kedo S plus file study group)

1. Pre-operative Intra Oral Periapical radiograph of the teeth will be taken using the standardized paralleling technique .

2. Topical and local anesthesia will be administered.

3. Tooth will be isolated with rubber dam.

4. Caries will be removed.

5. The convenience access will be with reached by a carbide bur without active tip (Endo Z).

6. The canal orifices will be localized with a #10 hand K-file.

7. The working length will be determined using the apex locator with one mm shorter than the '0.0' mark in apex locator.

8. Kedo S plus file will be used for instrumentation according to manufacturer's instructions.

9. Between the use of each file, the canals will be irrigated with sodium hypochlorite and EDTA gel "17%" will be used for lubrication of files during instrumentation.

10. Canals will then be dried with sterile paper points .

11. Metapex will then be administrated into the canals using pressure syringe technique followed by final compaction of the material by using wet cotton pellets technique.

12. The access cavity will be restored by Zincinol

13. Final coronal restoration of the pulpectomized tooth will be achieved using a preformed stainless steel metallic crown luted with glass ionomer cement.

14. Immediate postoperative intraoral periapical radiograph will beobtained for assessment of quality of obturation.

Group 2: (Kidzo-file study group) Steps 1-7 will be done as mentioned above. Then, Kidzo file will be used for instrumentation according to manufacturer's instructions. Step 9-14 also, will be repeated as well.

Group 3: (Manual K-file control group) Steps 1-7 will be done as mentioned above also. Then, the teeth will be instrumented by using hand k-files. Again step 9-14 will be repeated as well.

• Follow-up The patients will be recalled for clinical and radiographic follow up after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.

• Outcome measurement

1. Immediate post operative

A-The instrumentation time:

Will be recorded using a digital stopwatch, which include only instrumentation time of the used files excluding the in-between irrigation protocol for assessing the accurate time period needed for instrumentation in each group.

B-The quality of obturation:

Will be assessed according to criteria of Coll and Sadrian (1996) as (Underfilled, Optimal filled or Overfilled) by using intraoral periapical radiograph by paralleling technique.

2. Through the follow up period:

1. Clinical and radiographic success The following table indicating to the clinical and radiographic Coll and Sadrian.

criteria for treatment success,(1996) (44) : Clinical criteria Radiographic criteria 1. Absence of pain on percussion on recall checkup 1. No pathologic root resorption 2. No gingival swelling or sinus tract 2. No widening of the periodontal ligament space 3. Absence of purulent exudate expressed from the gingival margin 3. Absence or decrease of any periapical or furcation involvement 4. No abnormal mobility of tooth

• Blinding Participants and legal guardian will be blinded to which group they will be allocated , and the evaluator also will be blinded. While the operator /primary investigator cannot be blinded as she is already familiar with the type of the files used and their different instruction for using. For statistical analysis, codes will also assure blinding and confidentiality.
