The Success Rate of Cryotherapy Application in Primary Molars With Signs of Irreversible Pulpitis

The Success Rate of Cryotherapy Application in Primary Molars With Signs of Irreversible

The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups. Children aged 5-9 years with primary molars from suffered symptomatic signs of irreversible pulpitis will be randomly assigned into two groups. The first group (experimental group) will be injected with 4% articaine 1:100.000 epinephrine (inferior alveolar nerve block). For the second group, the mandibular second primary molars will be anesthetized using 4% articaine 1:100.000 epinephrine using inferior alveolar nerve block.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy children are classified as I or II according to ASA
• Presence of at least one mandibular primary molar with symptomatic signs of irreversible pulpitis
• Presence of at least two-thirds of the root length in periapical radiograph

Exclusion Criteria:

• Unrestorable crowns
• Children with systemic, severe behavior or emotional problems
• Presence of gingival redness, swellings, fistulous of sinus tract
• Radiographic evidence of internal root resorption, pulp stones or calcifications, and/or bone radiolucency
