Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of primary teeth with control necrotic pulp by clinical examination

The primary outcome was evaluated using clinical evaluation methods. Two pediatric dentists who are blind to treated teeth will conduct the clinical evaluation. A third examiner will be consulted if there is a disagreement between the results of the first two. Clinical success will be judged to have occurred when there are no reports of pain, abscess, fistula, or mobility inconsistent with chronological age.

Time frame: Up to 18 months

Percentage of primary teeth with control necrotic pulp by radiographic examination

The primary outcome was evaluated using Radiographic evaluation methods. Two pediatric dentists who are blind to treated teeth will conduct the clinical evaluation. A third examiner will be consulted if there is a disagreement between the results of the first two. Radiographic success will be evidenced by a decrease or absence of periapical or furcation area radiolucency and pathological root resorption

Time frame: Up to 18 months
