What this trial studies
This study evaluates the clinical and radiographic effects of using Tea Tree Oil- Eggshell Powder versus Biodentine as pulpotomy agents in primary teeth affected by pulpitis. Pulpotomy is a common procedure for treating deep carious lesions and pulp exposure in children. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of these materials in promoting healing and regeneration in dental pulp. Participants will undergo assessments using cone-beam computed tomography to evaluate treatment outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are children with restorable primary molars that have deep carious lesions but no signs of infection or severe pain.
Not a fit: Patients with spontaneous pain, gingival swelling, or any signs of root resorption will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a more effective and biocompatible treatment option for children with pulpitis.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited evidence on the use of Tea Tree Oil- Eggshell Powder, similar studies using alternative pulpotomy agents have shown promising results.
