Summary

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the clinical and radiographic success of Moringa Oleifera leaf extract with Sodium Hypochlorite as intracanal irrigants in pulpectomy of nonvital primary molars in children aged 3-7 years. The study evaluates both clinical parameters (pain, swelling, mobility) and radiographic healing (periapical changes, root resorption) over 12 months.

Conditions

  • Nonvital Primary Molars

Interventions

DRUG

Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract

A plant-based extract derived from Moringa Oleifera leaves, used as an intracanal irrigant during pulpectomy procedures in primary molars. It is administered using a 3 ml syringe with a side-vented needle following canal preparation and working length determination. This intervention aims to evaluate the clinical and radiographic efficacy of a natural, biocompatible alternative to conventional chemical irrigants.

DRUG

Sodium Hypochlorite 1%

A 1% concentration of Sodium Hypochlorite solution used as a standard intracanal irrigant in pediatric endodontics. It is administered using a 3 ml syringe with a side-vented needle after canal instrumentation. Known for its strong antimicrobial and tissue-dissolving properties, Sodium Hypochlorite serves as the active comparator in this study.
