Brief Summary  

Clinical and radiographic evaluation of calcium hydroxide with iodoform and zinc oxide with neem oil as obturating materials in primary teeth - an in vivo study

Obturation materials play important role in the success of endodontic treatment for primary teeth. The most commonly used material for primary root canal fillings is zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE). It has some disadvantages such as irritability, delayed periapical tissue repair and high toxicity and tendency to retain even after deciduous tooth exfoliation which may lead to problems such anterior crossbite, palatal eruption, or ectopic eruption of succedaneous teeth as well as risk of bone and cementum necrosis.

The second most commonly utilized root canal filling material is calcium hydroxide with iodoform paste. It has excellent radiopacity and antibacterial properties. However, the presence of iodoform in calcium hydroxide can induce irritation in periapical tissues, potentially causing cemental necrosis and in some cases, a hollow tube effect.

Considering the drawbacks of zinc oxide eugenol and calcium hydroxide and iodoform, these materials are not regarded as ideal for root canal fillings. This study aims to explore and develop an optimal obturation material with help of Phyto-dentistry, an emerging field in dentistry which involves the use of medicinal plants and their derivatives for the direct or indirect treatment of diseases.

 Neem, is well known due to its medicinal properties, including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-ulcer, and anti-inflammatory effects. It also possesses immunomodulatory, antihyperglycemic, antimalarial properties. Therefore, a mixture of zinc oxide and neem oil has recently introduced as a potential obturating material.

Therefore, this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success rate of zinc oxide with neem oil in comparison to calcium hydroxide - iodoform paste in terms of post-operative pain, tenderness on percussion, swelling, gingival inflammation, mobility, antibacterial efficacy, and resorption over 1, 3, 6, 9 months follow-up.
