Brief Summary   Pathological root resorption is a sequala of pulp necrosis, which in case of multi-rooted teeth, may lead to selective resorption of a single root, while the other root(s) remains intact. This predisposes to premature tooth extraction, which in children can compromise space management, mastication and speech. A systematic review by Coll et al(2020) suggests performing lesion-sterilisation-tissue-repair(LSTR) therapy when root resorption is greater than one-third and expected duration of survival is less than 12 months, while pulpectomy is recommended for teeth with minimal to no resorption. Pathological root resorption is a sequala of pulp necrosis, which in case of multi-rooted teeth, may lead to selective resorption of a single root, while the other root(s) remains intact. In this study, involving deciduous molars with selective root resorption, pulpectomy and LSTR will be performed in the intact and resorbed root(s), respectively. Irrigation will be done using 2.5% Sodium hypochlorite and normal saline. The intact root(s) will be obturated using Endoflass material, while LSTR will be performed using di-antibiotic paste in the resorbed root. Following the single-visit procedure, all teeth will be restored with a stainless-steel crown and recalled after 3,6 and 12 months for clinical and radiographic evaluation.
