Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Conservative access cavity preparation in primary molars  Using radiographs, the outline of the conservative cavity will be determined by a line drawn from the outer canal surface at the primary canal curve through the outer canal surface at the level of furcation. This will be replicated while performing on patients. The access cavities will be prepared using a sterile medium-size round bur and non-end cutting bur (Mani Inc., Utsunomiya, Japan) in a high-speed handpiece. The canals will be identified using DG16 endodontic explorer. Root canal patency will be obtained using a K-File of size 10. The canals will be prepared using a nickel-titanium Pedoflex rotary file system of file sizes 20 (yellow) and 25 (red) of length 16mm and 4% taper using an endodontic motor. The canals will be irrigated with 0.9% normal saline and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (Prime Dental Products Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, India) using SuperEndo Sonic Flush Irrigator between the use of each instrument to eliminate debris. The final irrigation will be carried out with 17% EDTA. Canals will be dried using sterile paper points and will be filled with calcium hydroxide and iodoform (Metapex) followed by restoration with Type IX glass ionomer cement and a preformed Stainless steel crown.  
Comparator Agent  Conventional access cavity preparation in primary molars  Using radiographs, the outline of the conventional cavity will be a line drawn parallel to the external surface of the pulp chamber to the curvature of the primary canal with respect to maximum curvature. This will be replicated while performing on patients. The access cavities will be prepared using a sterile medium-size round bur and non-end cutting bur (Mani Inc., Utsunomiya, Japan) in a high-speed handpiece. The canals will be identified using DG16 endodontic explorer. Root canal patency will be obtained using a K-File of size 10. The canals will be prepared using a nickel-titanium Pedoflex rotary file system of file sizes 20 (yellow) and 25 (red) of length 16mm and 4% taper using an endodontic motor. The canals will be irrigated with 0.9% normal saline and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (Prime Dental Products Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, India) using SuperEndo Sonic Flush Irrigator between the use of each instrument to eliminate debris. The final irrigation will be carried out with 17% EDTA. Canals will be dried using sterile paper points and will be filled with calcium hydroxide and iodoform (Metapex) followed by restoration with resin composite.

Method of Generating Random Sequence   Computer generated randomization 
Method of Concealment   Other 
Blinding/Masking   Open Label 
Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Determining the success/failure of endodontic
treatment after a 12-month period. The success of
the restoration will be assessed for marginal integrity, the presence of secondary caries, and any instances of fractured restoration.
Simultaneously, stainless steel crowns (SSCs) will be evaluated to identify any instances of perforation and crown loss.

 
Clinical and radiographical
evaluation will be conducted at intervals of 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Determining the success of restoration and stainless steel crowns  Clinical and radiographical
evaluation will be conducted at intervals of 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.

Brief Summary  
This study is a randomized, parallel-group clinical trial comparing the clinical and radiographic outcomes of endodontic treatment with conventional and conservative access cavities in primary molars among children undergoing pulp therapy. Pediatric patients reporting to the Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry, SRIHER, who meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited. Children who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated to either of the 2 groups based on the randomization list. 
Study group (Group A): Conservative endodontic access cavity restored with resin composite.
Control group (Group B): Conventional endodontic access cavity restored with Type IX glass ionomer cement followed by Stainless steel crown.
The primary outcome of this study will be determining the success/failure of endodontic treatment after 12 months. To be categorized as having overall success, the evaluated tooth must demonstrate both clinical and radiographic success. Clinical and radiographical evaluation will be conducted at intervals of 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Additionally, the success of the restoration and stainless steel crowns will be evaluated.
