7-12 years old children having deep caries in one or more mandibular molars. Both males and females are included in the study. Other criterion for inclusion of study sample is as follows:
History:
Tolerable dull, mild discomfort associated with eating.
Negative history of spontaneous extreme pain.
Clinical examination:
Large carious lesion
Normal appearance of adjacent gingiva
Normal color of tooth
Radiographic examination:
Large carious lesion with more than two-third thickness in dentin
Normal lamina dura
Normal periodontal ligament space
No radiolucency in the bone about the apices of the roots in the furcation.
Positive informed consent
History:
Sharp, penetrating pulpagia indicating acute pulpal inflammation and necrosis.
Prolonged spontaneous pain particularly at night.
Clinical examination:
Mobility of teeth
Discoloration of tooth
Negative reaction of electric pulp testing
Parulis in the gingiva approximating the roots of the tooth
Radiographic examination:
Large carious lesion producing definite pulp exposure
Interrupted / broken lamina dura
Widened periodontal ligament space
Periapical radiolucency
Negative informed consent
