Summary

This study compares eggshell powder to Biodentine for treating tooth pulp exposure in children's baby molars. Thirty kids with deep cavities but no infection will get a pulpotomy, where the damaged pulp is removed and the material is placed. Researchers will check for pain, swelling, and bone health over time to see if eggshell powder works as well as the standard treatment.
