Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Group I •Healthy patients of with mature mandibular 1st & 2nd molar with established clinical diagnosis of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis without periapical rarefaction with deep carious lesion. •Positive response to cold and electric pulp test. •Teeth with restorable carious lesion. Group II •Healthy patients of with mature mandibular 1st & 2nd molar with established clinical diagnosis of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis without periapical rarefaction with extremely deep carious lesion. •Positive response to cold and electric pulp test. •Teeth with restorable carious lesion.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Group I •Extensive carious lesion i.e., penetrating the entire thickness of the dentine without a radio-dense zone. •Teeth with cracks, cusp fractures, subgingival caries and poor periodontal health. •Patients with systemic conditions which could compromise the healing. •Patients not willing to participate in the study. Group II •Deep carious lesion penetrating >=3/4 of the dentine thickness with a radio-dense zone separating the lesion from the pulp. •Teeth with cracks, cusp fractures, subgingival caries and poor periodontal health. •Patients with systemic conditions which could compromise the healing. •Patients not willing to participate in the study. Intraoperative exclusion criteria: Group I &II Intraoperative exclusion criteria •Pulp bleeding that cannot be controlled within 10 minutes with 2.5% NaOCl wet cotton pellet •Clinical diagnosis changes to pulpal necrosis
