COMPARISON BETWEEN AN ALKASITE MATERIAL (CENTION-N) AND STAINLESS STEEL CROWNS AS RESTORATIVE MATERIALS FORPULPOTOMISED PRIMARY MOLARS: a RANDOMIZED CLINICAL STUDY

INTERVENTION: Intervention1: Alkasite restoration: Post Pulpotomy Restoration in Primary Molars, Duration of 12 months Control Intervention1: Stainless Steel Crown: Dental Crowns over Pulpotomised Primary Molars. Duration of 12 months CONDITION: Health Condition 1: K040‐ Pulpitis PRIMARY OUTCOME: The clinical evaluation of the two restorations will be assessed using parameters of marginal integrity, proximal contact, gingival health, secondary caries and discomfort on biting, as per the modified USPHS‐ United States Public Health Service criteria , and the clinical and the radiographic success of the pulpotomised molarsTimepoint: 6, 9 months SECONDARY OUTCOME: The clinical success of the two materials in comparison to each other as well as the clinical and radiographic success of the studied teeth.Timepoint: 12 months INCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Clinically, an asymptomatic primary molar with an occluso proximal carious lesion involving the marginalridge (more than half the marginal ridge, studied by measuring the inter cuspal distance‐ bucco lingual)involved in the carious process. (Duggal MS & Nooh A 2002)The involved teeth should be having no signs of pathologic mobility, no swelling or fistula, no history ofspontaneous and nocturnal pain, and tenderness to percussion or palpation.2. Radiographically, a deep carious lesion approaching the pulp with no evidence of periapical pathology likeabscess, periodontal space widening, periapical or furcation radiolucency, or internal or external resorption. 3. Teeth having no more than one third of their roots undergoing physiologic resorption as evaluated byIOPAR
