Intervention1: Alternative Pulpotomy technique: Tooth access opening will be done with high-speed bur under water coolant.Underneath the cariously exposed pulp horn, removal of the coronal pulp tissue

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Subjects of either gender belonging to 15-35 years of age group with proximal carious lesion on mandibular first and second molar tooth and symptoms suggestive of irreversible pulpitis. Mandibular 1st and 2nd molar teeth with deep caries lesion penetrating =3/4 of the dentine thickness Teeth with Positive response to EPT and cold test Teeth with restorable carious lesions

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Teeth with immature roots. Teeth with central pit exposure . Teeth with subgingival extension of proximal caries. Teeth with cracks, cusp fractures, poor periodontal health

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To assess the clinical and radiographic outcome of Alternate Pulpotomy Technique –Underneath the cariously exposed pulp horn, removal of the coronal pulp tissue vertically down to the level of the affected canal orifice, and application of a biomaterial directly onto the radicular pulp tissue (Midi-Pulpotomy) Full pulpotomy –Complete removal of the coronal pulp and application of a biomaterial directly onto the pulp tissue at the level of the root canal orifices. Timepoint: Patients evaluated at baseline; after treatment for 1 week; 3 month and followed up for 6 months and 1 year	—
