Full pulpotomy in adults ≥18 years with restorable mandibular first or second molars diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis, with or without apical periodontitis.
Full pulpotomy in adults ≥18 years with restorable mandibular first or second molars diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis, with or without apical periodontitis.: Comparison of full pulpotomy with MTA in teeth with and without apical periodontitis
Study summary
This clinical study aims to evaluate the periapical and clinical healing outcomes of full pulpotomy using MTA in mandibular permanent molars diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Patients will be stratified based on the presence or absence of apical periodontitis. Clinical and radiographic assessments will be conducted at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months to compare healing outcomes between groups. The study seeks to determine the effectiveness of full pulpotomy as a less invasive alternative to root canal treatment, even in teeth with apical pathosis.
