Summary

This study will compare the outcome of partial pulpotomy and complete pulpotomy in mature permanent molars with clinical signs indicative of irreversible pulpitis

Detailed description

After thorough history and clinical and radio graphic examination, and confirmation of eligibility for the study, written informed consent will be taken after explaining the procedure and its associated risks and benefits. Clinical diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis will be established based on a history of spontaneous pain or pain exacerbated by cold stimuli and lasting for a few seconds to several hours (lingering pain) compared to control teeth and which is reproducible using cold testing. Once included, study subjects will be randomly allocated to either Complete Pulpotomy group or Partial Pulpotomy group. (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) MTA will be used as pulpotomy agent. A layer of resin modified Glass Ionomer liner will be placed over the MTA and tooth will be permanently restored with composite resin in second appointment. Pain analysis will be carried out preoperatively and postoperatively at every 24 hours till 7 days after intervention. All the subjects will be followed up for evaluation of success at every 3 months from baseline to 1 year.
