Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if MTA pulpotomy compared to pulpectomy have the same clinical and radiographic success in treatment of primary molars diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does MTA pulpotomy compared to pulpectomy have the same clinical and radiographic success in treatment of primary molars diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis?

Detailed description

The current Randomized clinical Trial will be conducted on 4-6 year old children to evaluate if MTA pulpotomy compared to pulpectomy have the same clinical and radiographic success in treatment of primary molars diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis,

Interventions
