Outcome of Direct Pulp Capping and Partial Pulpotomy in Reversible Pulpitis

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Partial Pulpotomy in Reversible Pulpitis: Procedure/Surgery: Outcome of Partial Pulpotomy in teeth with clinical signs indicative of Reversible Pulpitis with extremely deep caries. After caries removal and pulp exposure , 2-3 mm of pulp tissue will be amputated and the pulpal wound irrigated with 3% NaOCl. Bleeding will be controlled by placing a cotton pellet soaked in 3% NaOCl over the pulpal wound for 2-3 minutes, repeated if required. This will be followed by capping with a 2-3 mm layer of MTA in both the groups. A layer of RMGIC will then be placed over the MTA, and the tooth will be permanently restored with composite resin.

Direct pulp capping with MTA: Outcome of direct pulp capping in teeth with clinical signs indicative of reversible pulpitis. After caries removal and pulp exposure pulpal wound will be irrigated with 3% NaOCl, and bleeding will be controlled by placing a cotton pellet soaked with 3% NaOCl over the pulpal wound for 2 to 3 minutes and will be repeated if required. Followed by capping with MTA, a layer of RMGIC will be placed over the MTA. Then the tooth will be permanently restored with composite resin.

Study summary

AIM: -The aim of the study is to compare the outcome of Direct Pulp Capping and Partial Pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth with Reversible Pulpitis OBJECTIVES: - Primary Objective: to compare the difference in clinical and radiographic outcome of direct pulp capping and partial pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth with Reversible Pulpitis. Secondary objective: To evaluate and compare postoperative pain after Direct Pulp Capping and Partial Pulpotomy in teeth with Reversible Pulpitis STUDY GROUPS: - Subjects of age group 15 to 40 years will be included and divided into two groups

1. Direct Pulp Capping in Permanent mature molars with Reversible Pulpitis
2. Partial Pulpotomy in Permanent mature molars with Reversible Pulpitis

Eligibility
