Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate the healing outcomes of laser pulpotomy compared with conventional pulpotomy in the management of patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Timepoint: 1 year follow up | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| outcome of radiographic success will be classified using a Orstavik s Periapical Index score (PAI). teeth with normal contour or width of PDL will be deliberated as success, and teeth with periapical radiolucency will be reported as failure. Timepoint: 1 year followup;the preoperative and post-operative pain levels will be recorded by using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Timepoint: The post operative pain levels will be recorded at intervals of 6 hours, 24 hours, and 7 days after the initial visit. | — |
