Interventions
Sodium hypochlorite
sodium hypochlorite solution will be used as a root canal irrigant during pulpectomy in primary molars. A volume of 3 mL will be delivered into each canal using a syringe with a side-vented needle. Irrigation will be followed by microbial sampling for blood agar
Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract
extract of Moringa oleifera leaves will be used as an intracanal irrigant during pulpectomy. A volume of 3 mL will be used per canal, and post-irrigation microbial samples will be analyzed using the same methods as the control group.
