The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of 3MIX and Vitapex (calcium hydroxide and iodoform paste) for root canal treatment of pulpally involved primary molars. This randomized clinical trial was conducted at Outpatient Department of Operative Dentistry at de,Montmorency College of Dentistry, Lahore. A total of 100 patients with inter - radicular and periapical radiolucency on periapical radiograph of primary molars were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups randomly, group A (3MIX) and group B (Vitapex). For group A (n=50) 3MIX was prepared, pulp was removed and 3MIX was placed on orifice of canals. In Group B (n=50), root canal length was determined by radiograph, pulp removed and Vitapex was filled directly in canals with pre mixed syringe. Zinc oxide eugenol was used to fill pulp chambers. In both groups tooth was restored with glass ionomer cement. Both groups were evaluated radiographically after 6 months. The overall effectiveness in terms of absence of radiolucency in Group A was 90% and in Group B was 70%. Absence of periapical radiolucency was significantly higher in Group A than Group B (P value 0.02). Based on the result of this study, it was concluded that 3 MIX is significantly more effective in the treatment of pulpally involved primary molars as compared to Vitapex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
