The tooth is restorable, probing pocket depth and mobility are within normal limits. No signs of pulpal necrosis including sinus tract or swelling. Mobility within normal limits. Radiographically, no evidence of pathological root resorption, and periapical or furcal radiolucency.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Teeth with immature roots Non restorable teeth Negative response to cold testing, the presence of sinus tract or swelling No pulp exposure after caries excavation Bleeding could not be controlled after full pulpotomy in 10 minutes Insufficient bleeding after pulp exposure, the pulp is judged necrotic or partially necrotic Systemic diseases like haemophilia, Von Willebrand disease, platelet abnormalities, and diabetes were excluded.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Patients will be asked to record their pain on a 100mm long visual analogue scale, with 0 representing no pain and 100 representing pain as bad as it could be. An investigator blinded to the study group instructed all the participants. Timepoint: 24 and 48 hours | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Clinically, teeth will be evaluated for presence or absence of signs and symptoms associated with any pulpal or periapical disease (spontaneous or persistent pain, discomfort, tenderness on palpation or percussion, sinus, swelling of surrounding tissue), cold and electric pulp testing, periodontal status and the integrity of the restoration. Radiographically, the assessment will be performed by two calibrated experienced endodontists independently for the evidence of any pathosis like periapical radiolucency (PAI upto 3), furcation involvement or internal/external root resorption. If any disagreement occurs, a consensus will be reached after a mutual discussion. Timepoint: 1, 3, 6 and 12 months | — |
