Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Presence of extensive caries has caused exposure of the pulp, but the tooth shows no signs of irreversible pulpitis or necrosis. 2. When the clinical and radiographic findings suggest that the inflammation is limited to the coronal pulp, and the radicular pulp is healthy. 3. The tooth should have sufficient structure to support a full coverage restoration after the pulpotomy procedure.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Symptoms of spontaneous pain, lingering thermal pain, or severe pain unrelieved by analgesics. 2. Teeth nearing their natural exfoliation where retention is unnecessary. 3. Patients with systemic conditions (e.g., immunosuppression or bleeding disorders) where pulpotomy poses additional risks. 4. Inability of the patient to cooperate for the procedure, particularly in young children or individuals with special needs where alternative approaches may be more practical. 5. Presence of a sinus tract or swelling associated with the affected tooth. 6. Pathological mobility suggesting loss of bone support or extensive infection. 7. Prolonged bleeding /Failure to achieve hemostasis. 8. Presence of purulent discharge or a necrotic odor from the pulp chamber. 9. Presence of periapical or furcal radiolucency indicating radicular infection.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Clinical success rate of pulpotomy using Sticky Bone vs. MTA in primary molars over a specified follow-up period (e.g., 3, 6, 9, 12 months). This includes absence of pain, swelling, mobility, sinus tract, or tenderness on percussion.Timepoint: Assessment will be done at 1, 3, 6, 9 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Radiographic success rate of pulpotomy using Sticky Bone vs. MTA in primary molars. Parameters include absence of periapical/furcal radiolucency, internal/external root resorption, and maintenance of normal periodontal ligament space.Timepoint: Assessment will be done at 3, 6, 9, 12 months | — |
