Abstract
Objectives: Treatment of pulpectomized primary molars with chronic infection using a mixture of three antibiotics:
Metronidazole, Ciprofloxacin, and Doxycycline mixed with Macrogol or Propylene Glycol (modified 3MIX-MP) as an intracanal
medicament before the complete cleaning and shaping and obturation.
Study design: A 7 years old child with infected primary molar came to our clinic for treatment. A detailed medical history and
drug allergy were taken. Ciprofloxacin (500mg), Metronidazole (500mg) and Doxycycline (100mg) tablets divided in the proportion
of 1:3:3 (one part of Ciprofloxacin, three parts of Metronidazole, and three parts of Doxycycline) and mixed with propylene glycol to
form an ointment. Biomechanical preparation was done. The modified 3MIX-MP paste placed in the pulp chamber then temporary
filling. The patient was recalled after 2 weeks. The tooth was obturated and restored then a stainless-steel crown placed. Then
reevaluated at 3rd, 6th, and 12th months.
Results: Excellent clinical and radiographic success when compared to conventional pulpectomy and non-instrumentational
lesion sterilization tissue repair therapy.
Conclusion: Treatment of Primary molar with modified 3MIX-MP, followed by instrumentation and obturation provided
excellent clinical and radiographic success when compared to non-instrumentational lesion sterilization tissue repair therapy.
