Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis (SIP)
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the clinical and radiographic success rate of Laser pulpotomy procedure done in immature permanent molars with symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis.. The main question it aims to answer is: whether the combined use of Laser pulpotomy with MTA capping material will provide faster healing with acceleration of complete root formation in immature permanent molars compared to MTA pulpotomy alone? Participants will: The coronal inflammed pulp will be carefully amputated to the level of the canal orifices. Hemostasis will be achieved by gentle placement of a saline-moistened cotton pellet and Placement of capping material will be performed in the study groups. The post-operative clinical follow up will be done after one week for patient reassurance. Then the postoperative clinical and radiographic follow-up will be scheduled up to twelve months.
Interventions
OTHERApplication of 660 nm diode laser
photobiomodulation (PBM) uses low-power irradiation from lasers or light-emitting diode (LED) devices to irradiate human tissues to stimulate dental pulp cells
OTHERApplication of 970 nm diode laser + MTA
Laser application with 970 nm wavelength to penetrate and affect pulpal cells
OTHERConventional MTA pulpotomy (control group)
The remaining pulp will be capped with MTA after final rinsing with saline
