Herbal Irrigation in Necrotic Primary Molars
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
Frankincense is one of the herbal products that was traditionally used in folk medicine in many cultures due to its antibacterial, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory characteristics .In recent studies, practitioners have started using Frankincense as an intracanal irrigant in permanent teeth, comparing it with the gold standard sodium hypochlorite. Based on the current knowledge, no clinical trials in literature have been performed to compare the effectiveness of Boswellia Sacra water extract versus sodium hypochlorite as a root canal irrigant in pulpectomy of necrotic primary molars.
