Study on Sodium Hypochlorite and Chlorhexidine to Reduce Pain and Improve Success After Partial Removal of Deep Tooth Decay in Adult Permanent Teeth

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effects of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine as disinfectants on post-operative pain and the success of partial caries removal in mature permanent mandibular molars with deep carious lesions and moderate pulpitis. The study aims to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes after partial caries removal using these disinfectants versus saline. The research focuses on improving treatment results for deep dental cavities while monitoring pain reduction after the procedure. Participants will undergo partial caries removal followed by cavity disinfection with either 2% chlorhexidine, 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, or saline control group. The study includes randomized allocation into one of three groups no disinfectant, sodium hypochlorite disinfection, or chlorhexidine disinfection. Treatment success will be assessed after 12 months, while post-operative pain will be monitored daily for one week. During the study, participants will receive clinical and radiographic evaluations at 12 months to measure the success of the treatment. Pain assessments will be conducted every 24 hours for seven days following the procedure. The research team will track both clinical and radiographic success criteria and monitor pain levels to evaluate the effectiveness of the disinfectants used. The total follow-up period for the primary outcomes is 12 months.
