Radiographic success at 12 months: no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.005) | |

Radiographic success at 12 months: a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.011): Internal resorption was observed in three teeth treated with modified 3 Mix‑MP paste | |
