Exploring Natural Alternatives: Pomegranate Peel Extract for Primary Molar Pulpotomy
Overview
Pomegranate peel extract has demonstrated a range of potential uses in the biomedical industry in recent years because of its numerous benefits, which include anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-apoptotic, antioxidant, and cell-regeneration-promoting qualities. Therefore, the purpose of this study will be to evaluate the clinical and radiographic efficacy of Pomegranate peel extract as a pulpotomy agent in primary teeth.
Detailed description
A total of sixty primary molars in thirty children aged between 4 and 8 years will be randomly divided into two groups: Group I, the Pomegranate peel extract group, and Group II, the MTA group. After pulpotomy treatment, all molars will be restored with stainless steel crowns. Follow-up will be done after 3, 6, and 9 months for clinical and radiographic assessment.
Interventions
- Procedure Pulpotomy
Teeth will be anesthetized then Rubber dam and high suction will be used in pulpotomy procedure. Cavity outline will be performed by sterile #330 high speed bur using water spray. Caries will be removed by large spoon excavator. When pulpal exposure occurred, the roof of pulp chamber will be removed by low speed round bur. Haemostasis will be obtained by applying pressure with a moist cotton pellet with saline. Then the test materials will be applied. after that, pulp stumps of all molars in eac - Procedure Radiation
Radiographic evaluation will be performed immediately after teeth restoration (baseline radiograph), then after three, six, and twelve months for the furcation radiolucency area and bone radiodensity. A photo-simulated phosphorus plate sensor was used to take direct standardized digital radiographs. The parallel periapical technique was obtained by Rinn, which is attached to the X-ray tube with its arm fastened to the film holder that contained a coated PSP (photo-stimulated phosphorus plate). T
