- Abstract
Introduction and Objectives: In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles are used with apple seed oil and metapex as root canal obturating material to overcome the irritant effect of eugenol. The study will be done with the objectives of evaluating and comparing the antimicrobial activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized using apple seed oil and metapex. Methodology Including Study Design: This is a comparative in vivo study. The study will be conducted at NIMS Dental College and Hospital, Jaipur. Two groups of children, forty in each group, aged between 4 and 8 years, will be included in the study. Groups will be divided to perform endodontic treatment using zinc oxide nanoparticles with apple seed oil and metapex as obturating material. The conventional pulpectomy procedure will be carried out. The postoperative pain will be assessed using the pain scale through a telephonic conversation with the patient within 24 h of treatment. Teeth will be examined periodically clinically and radiographically to assess the success of the treatment. Results: Data collected after the completion of the study will be statistically analyzed. Conclusion: Apple seed oil is used as a carrier for zinc oxide nanoparticles instead of eugenol and compared with metapex to assess postobturation pain and the success of treatment radiographically.
