Summary
This study tests whether simvastatin, a common cholesterol drug, can replace antibiotics in treating infected baby molars in children aged 5-8.

The goal is to stop infection and save the tooth without needing to pull it. Success is measured by pain, swelling, and X-ray healing over 3 months.
