Summary

This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of Moringa Oleifera leaf extract versus sodium hypochlorite as root canal irrigants in pulpectomy of nonvital primary molars in pediatric patients. The study will assess bacterial reduction using blood agar

Conditions

  • Dental Caries
  • Pulp Necrosis
  • Primary Tooth Pulpectomy
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Endodontic Infection

Interventions

DRUG

Sodium hypochlorite

sodium hypochlorite solution will be used as a root canal irrigant during pulpectomy in primary molars. A volume of 3 mL will be delivered into each canal using a syringe with a side-vented needle. Irrigation will be followed by microbial sampling for blood agar

BIOLOGICAL

Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract

extract of Moringa oleifera leaves will be used as an intracanal irrigant during pulpectomy. A volume of 3 mL will be used per canal, and post-irrigation microbial samples will be analyzed using the same methods as the control group.
