Oxymetazoline 0.05% nasal solution: Using 1 drop (\~0.05 mL) of 0.05% OXY (Normifrin Nasal spray, MUP, Egypt, and generic equivalents) delivered through a micro- brush or a small cotton pellet over pulp stumps to achieve hemostasis.
Sodium Hypochlorite Solution: Compression of a sterile cotton pellet soaked in 5% NaOCl over the pulpal stumps for 5 min
