Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of obturation quality and root canal treatment time between Neolix and M3 Immatural rotary systems and hand instrument in primary mandibular molars: a single blind randomized clinical trial
Design
Clinical trials with a control group, with parallel groups, single-blinded, randomized. Children will be divided into three groups in a simple random way (using Excel software).
Settings and conduct
The study will be conducted on patients referring to the Pediatric Department of Babol Dental School, who will be required pulpectomy in any of the deciduous mandibular molars. Sampling was done randomly and for each treatment group, 10 samples and a total of 30 samples will be considered. The assessment of obturation quality will be done by an endodontist who is blind to the type of instrumentation (single-blinded).
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: age 4 to 9 years, vital or necrotic mandibular primary molars without sinus tract, absence of internal or external pathological root resorption, at least two-thirds of remaining root length, children exhibiting Frankl's behavior rating scale score of 3 and 4, presence of adequate coronal tooth structure to receive stainless steel (SS) crown or, amalgam restoration and signature of consent form. Exclusion criteria: children with underlying systemic diseases and those with special healthcare needs, children lacking cooperative ability, teeth with more than one-third of pathological root resorption, radiolucent area(s) in the radiography and teeth that cannot be restored.
Intervention groups
The first group (Hand K-files), the second group (M3 Immatural rotary file) and the third group (Neoniti A1 rotary files).
Main outcome variables
The investigated parameters include: obturation quality and treatment time.
