Not Applicable

Recruiting

Interventions: Procedure: effect of 3% and 5% sodium hypochlorite on outcome of partial pulpotomy in teeth with clinical signs indicative of irreversible pulpitis.

Brief Summary: The aim of this randomised control trial is to compare the effect of different concentrations of NaOCl on outcome of partial pulpotomy in teeth with clinical signs indicative of irreversible pulpitis.

The main question it aims to answer are:

1. clinical and radiographic outcome of partial pulpotomy following use of 5% and 3% NaOCl in mature permanent teeth with clinical signs indicative of irreversible pulpitis.

2. OHRQoL and pain experience after use of 5% and 3% NaOCl during partial pulpotomy in teeth with clinical signs indicative of irreversible pulpitis.

Detailed Description: TITLE :- Outcome following use of different concentrations of NaOCl as wound lavage and hemostatic agent in partial pulpotomy: A Randomised control trial.

Question it aims to answer:

Does pulpal lavage using 3% and 5% sodium hypochlorite have comparable effect on outcome of partial pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth with clinical signs of irreversible pulpitis? P (Population) -Mature permanent mandibular molars with signs of irreversible pulpitis.

I (Intervention) - 5% NaOCl C (Comparison) - 3% NaOCl O (Outcome) - 1. Assessment of clinical and radiographic success at 12 months of follow up.

2. Assessment of OHRQoL and pain experience at baseline, post-operatively every 24 hours for 1 week and OHRQoL at 6 and 12 months.

In literature pertaining to vital pulp therapy procedures, there is often a focus on comparing various materials or treatment methodologies. However, the use of sodium hypochlorite, holds significant importance in ensuring the successful outcome of the procedure. The previous studies indicate that the use of NaOCl presents as a confounding factor, compounded by variations among operators in their choice of high and low concentrations of NaOCl.So, there is a pressing need for a direct comparative analysis to assess the influence of varying sodium hypochlorite concentrations on the overall efficacy and success rates of vital pulp therapy procedures.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Test: 5% sodium hypochlorite	effect of 3% and 5% sodium hypochlorite on outcome of partial pulpotomy in teeth with clinical signs indicative of irreversible pulpitis.	After partial pulpotomy procedure, pulp wound will be irrigated with 5% sodium hypochlorite and haemostasis will be achieved by placing the cotton pellet soaked with 5% sodium hypochlorite on the amputated pulp.
Control: 3% sodium hypochlorite	effect of 3% and 5% sodium hypochlorite on outcome of partial pulpotomy in teeth with clinical signs indicative of irreversible pulpitis.	After partial pulpotomy procedure, pulp wound will be irrigated with 3% sodium hypochlorite and haemostasis will be achieved by placing the cotton pellet soaked with 3% sodium hypochlorite on the amputated pulp.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Clinical success rate	baseline to 12 months	Clinical criteria of success:- 1. No pain or discomfort except for the first few days after treatment. 2. No tenderness to palpation or percussion and the tooth is functional. 3. Normal mobility and probing pocket depth. 4. Healthy soft tissues around teeth with no swelling, sinus tract.
Radiographic success rate	Baseline to 12 months	Radiographic success criteria:- 1. No pathosis such as root resorption, furcal pathosis or new periapical pathosis evident on the radiograph. 2. Complete radiographic healing

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Post Operative Pain	Baseline to 7 days	To assess incidence and intensity of pain postoperatively at every 24 hours till 7 days using Visual analogue Scale of 0 to 100 millimeter line. Score 0 means no pain and Score100 means maximum pain. To assess incidence and intensity of pain postoperatively at every 24 hours till 7 days using Visual analogue Scale of 0 to 100 millimeter line. Score 0 means no pain and Score 100 means maximum pain
OHRQoL assessment	baseline and at 24 h, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days after the treatment, and then at 6 and 12 months.	OHIP-14 questionnare will be used to assess the quality of life.It consists of questionnaire in seven dimensions: functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, and handicap. It will be scored using a Lickert scale: never=0; hardly ever=1; occasionally=2; fairly often=3; very often=4. Total score will be calculated ranging from 0-56, with higher score denoting the worst OHRQoL
