Comparison of LSTR and Pulpectomy in Primary Molars of Pediatric Patients (LSTR-PULP)
Sponsor: taymour abuawwad
Summary
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair (LSTR) with conventional pulpectomy in treating pulpal lesions in primary molars of pediatric patients aged 4 to 10 years. LSTR is a minimally invasive method that uses antibiotic paste to disinfect infected tissue without full canal instrumentation. Children participating in this study will receive either the LSTR technique or standard pulpectomy, and the clinical and radiographic success of both treatments will be evaluated over a 12-month period. The goal is to determine whether LSTR is a safe and effective alternative to pulpectomy in primary teeth.

Conditions
Interventions
LSTR
Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair (LSTR) is a minimally invasive pulp therapy using ciprofloxacin and metronidazole mixed with iodoform-calcium hydroxide, without canal instrumentation. The access cavity is sealed and restored with SSC or compomer.
Pulpectomy
Pulpectomy includes mechanical canal preparation, irrigation, and obturation using iodoform-calcium hydroxide paste, followed by final restoration with stainless steel crown or compomer.
