Pomegranate Peel Extract for Primary Molars Pulpotomy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized study compares a natural pulpotomy agent, pomegranate peel extract, with mineral trioxide aggregate in 60 primary molars of 30 children aged 4–8. After pulpotomy, teeth are restored with stainless steel crowns and followed clinically and radiographically at 3, 6, and 9 months to assess outcomes. The goal is to determine if the extract provides similar or better healing and preservation of the tooth pulp. Participants must have restorable primary molars with deep caries and no signs of active infection or significant root destruction. The trial is conducted at Tanta University, led by the sponsor with no listed collaborators.
