- Primary outcome consisted of clinical symptoms and radiographic symptoms. For clinical criteria, the evaluation included pulp sensibility tests,spontaneous pain, mobility, sinus tract formation, and performing palpation and percussion tests. For radiographic criteria included detecting any radiolucency at the periapical or furcation areas, assessing for pathological changes like internal and external resorption, checking for periodontal ligament widening, and monitoring dentin bridge formation.

简要总结
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of direct pulp capping (DPC) in permanent teeth using Er:YAG laser-assisted techniques compared to conventional methods. The trial involved patients with deep carious lesions and pinpoint pulp exposures, meeting specific inclusion criteria. Following standardized protocols, pulp exposure sites were managed with either laser-assisted or traditional techniques, and outcomes were assessed over a defined follow-up period. The primary objective was to assess the effectiveness of the Er:YAG laser in preserving pulp vitality and promoting healing.
