Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Healthy patients of either gender belonging to 18 to 40 age with mature permanent maxillary and mandibular molar teeth • Teeth with extremely deep carious lesions i.e. carious lesion penetrating the entire thickness of the dentin, without a radio-dense zone. • Teeth with established clinical diagnosis of non spontaneous symptomatic pulpitis (initial and mild pulpitis) • Teeth with positive response to cold and electric pulp test.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Deep carious lesions extending 3/4 of the dentine thickness, with a visible radiopaque zone separating the carious lesion from the pulp, of mature permanent teeth with spontaneous symptomatic irreversible pulpitis Extremely deep carious lesion with periapical rarefaction. • Teeth with clinical diagnosis of spontaneous symptomatic pulpitis (Moderate and severe pulpitis) • 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
