Summary
This study tested two simpler treatments called Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair (LSTR) against the standard root canal procedure for infected baby molars in 66 children. One LSTR method used a special antibiotic paste placed directly on the tooth's pulp, while the other also cleaned the root canals. The goal was to see if these less invasive options could work as well as the standard treatment, potentially making dental visits easier for children.
