Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Group-1: Patients will be treated with 3-mix paste and will act as the working control.  Children aged 4–8 years with compromised, infected primary molars indicated for LSTR will be selected from the Pediatric Dentistry Department at PMS College of Dental Science and Research. Ethical clearance has been obtained, and informed consent will be obtained from parents after providing study details in English and Malayalam, excluding material names for blinding. A detailed medical and dental history, clinical examination, and preoperative radiographs will be conducted, with assessments scored using a validated composite index. Periapical radiographs will be standardized using digital overlay and expert calibration. Triple Antibiotic Paste (TAP) will be prepared in a 1:1:1 using Metronidazole, Ciprofloxacin, and Clindamycin for TAP. The paste will be mixed with propylene glycol for uniform consistency and stored under controlled conditions. The treatment will involve local anesthesia, rubber dam isolation, access cavity preparation, and irrigation with saline and sodium hypochlorite. A medication cavity will be prepared, and TAP will be placed before final restoration with glass ionomer cement and a stainless steel crown. Clinical and radiographic evaluations will be conducted every six months for two years, with success and failure categorized based on a validated composite index. 
Intervention  Group-2: Patients will be treated with 2-mix paste and will act as the experimental group.  The study protocol is same as in the comparater group except for the agent prepared and used. Double Antibiotic Paste (DAP) will be prepared in a 1:1 ratio, respectively, using Metronidazole and Ciprofloxacin for DAP. The paste will be mixed with propylene glycol for uniform consistency and stored under controlled conditions.
