Primary Molars

This study will evaluate the clinical performance, Streptococcus mutans count, and salivary pH for Cention-N, Zirconomer, and resin-modified glass ionomer in Class I restoration of primary molars.

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the clinical and radiographic performance of four direct restorative materials used for restoring carious primary molars in children. Eligible children aged 4-8 years with posterior primary molars requiring direct restoration will be randomly allocated (1:1:1:1) to receive one of the following materials: an alkasite restorative material (Cention N), a self-cure bulk-fill resin composite (Stela; SDI), a conventional light-cured nanohybrid resin composite (Beautifil II), or a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Riva Light Cure). Restorations will be evaluated using the Fédération Dentaire Internationale (FDI) World Dental Federation criteria. Postoperative sensitivity will be assessed at 48 hours using a 0-10 visual analogue scale (VAS). Clinical and radiographic follow-up assessments will be conducted at baseline and at scheduled recall visits

This study aims to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of Lesion sterilization and tissue repair using zinc oxide/ 6-gingerol mix versus triple antibiotic paste in non-vital primary molars.
