Health Condition 1: K040- Pulpitis

Interventions

Intervention1: full pulpotomy performed with an inert material (gelatin sponge): The patient will be requested to rinse the oral cavity with 10 ml. of 0.2% Chlorhexidine digluconate Inferior alveolar

bleeding time will be recorded. Once the haemostasis will be achieved, an inert material (gelatin sponge) will be placed above the pulpal floor. Above that a layer of RMGIC will be placed and light cu

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Healthy patient of either gender between 18-35 years of age group. 2.Teeth with definitive clinical diagnosis of mechanical pulp exposure with reversible/irreversible pulpitis without symptomatic apical periodontitis. 3.Positive response to cold and electric pulp testing. 4.The tooth is restorable. 5.Probing pocket depth and mobility are within normal limits.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Teeth with definitive clinical diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis which are associated with periapical rarefaction. 2.Teeth with immature roots. 3.Teeth with cracks, cusp fractures. 4.Teeth with poor periodontal health, probing pocket depth >3mm, furcation involvement and radiographic horizontal or vertical interdental bone loss. 5.Presence of sinus tract or swelling or periapical pathology on an IOPA radiograph. 6.Patients with systemic conditions which could compromise the healing. 7.Patients not willing to participate in the study 8.Bleeding cannot be controlled within 10 mins with pressure pack. 9.Clinical diagnosis changes from symptomatic irreversible pulpitis to pulp necrosis
