Brief summary

This study is designed to compare between MTA Pulpotomy (Removal of coronal pulp tissue, placing MTA and covering with Stainless steel crown) Versus Conventional Pulpectomy (Removal of radicular pulp tissue, placing Zinc Oxide/Eugenol and covering with Stainless steel crown) in irreversible pulpitis in primary second molars.
