Evaluation Of Laser Versus Conventional Pulpotomies In Mature Molar Teeth With Irreversible Pulpitis

Evaluation Of Laser Versus Conventional Pulpotomies In Mature Molar Teeth With Irreversible Pulpitis (A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial)

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A

Summary

this clinical trial is evaluating the outcome of laser assisted pulpotomy compared to conventional pulpotomy in mature teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) assessed by CBCT followed by automated segmentation using Artificial intelligence (AI).

Detailed description

Sixty human permanent molar teeth having irreversible pulpitis will be selected. Teeth will be randomly divided into 3 groups according to the type of pulpotomy; Group A: Photobiomodulation (PBM) pulpotomy, Group B: photocoagulation pulpotomy and Group C: Conventional pulpotomy which will serve as control. All 3 groups will be capped with bioceramic putty material. Post operative pain will be assessed at 24, 48 and 72 hours then after one week using numerical rating scale (NRS). Clinical and radiographic assessment using periapical radiograph of the healing progress will be done simultaneously during the follow up at one, three, six and 12 months intervals. CBCT will be done immediate postoperative and at the end of the follow up period to assess the dentin bridge formation and for automated segmentation to assess the radicular pulp volume changes.

Conditions

• Irreversible Pulpitis (Toothache)

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Diode laser	a contact-type laser, it selectively and precisely affects only the tissues directly beneath it, thereby preserving the surrounding radicular tissue
OTHER	Sodium Hypochlorite Solution	A disinfecting agent used in conventional pulpotomy procedures
