Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1 Children aged 4 8 years requiring pulpotomy in primary teeth 2 Systemically healthy Children (ASA I) 3 Children with written informed consent obtained from their parents or legal guardians 4 Vital primary teeth with deep carious lesions resulting in mechanical or carious pulp exposure 5 Primary teeth exhibiting controlled bleeding from the radicular pulp stumps within 5 minutes following coronal pulp amputation 6 Primary teeth with no clinical signs of pulpal degeneration including pathological mobility or tenderness to percussion 7 Primary teeth exhibiting radiographically normal periapical and furcation areas 8 Teeth with physiological root resorption of less than onethird of the root length

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1 Children demonstrating negative behaviour ratings that prevent safe completion of the procedure under routine behaviour management protocols 2 Teeth associated with a history of spontaneous or persistent pain suggestive of advanced pulpal pathology 3 Teeth showing clinical evidence of pulpal or periradicular infection such as localized swelling or sinus tract or purulent discharge 4 Teeth with evidence of pathological internal or external root resorption 5 Teeth with excessive physiological root resorption compromising long-term retention or prognosis 6 Teeth with structural loss or carious destruction that compromises the ability to achieve a durable coronal restoration
