Overview
Brief Summary
Permanent teeth with carious pulp exposure and indicated for full pulpotomy will be treated using three different materials using aseptic technique and will be subsequently followed up clinically and radiographically at 6 months, 1 year and yearly up to 5 years.
Detailed Description
- The target sample size is 150 patients medically fit, having vital teeth with carious pulp exposure and complaining of pain.
- The patients tooth will receive full pulpotomy under aseptic conditions and it will be randomly assigned to one of 3 calcium silicate based materials namely, (Mineral trioxide Aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, and Bioceramic for capping the full pulpotomy followed by resin composite restoration.
- Follow up for pain levels will be done during the first week.
- clinical and radiographic examination will be done at 6 months, 1 year and yearly up to 5 years.
- Success of the procedure includes absence of clinical signs and symptoms, with absence of pathology in the root and periapex on periapical radiographs.
- The 3 materials will be compared in terms of clinical and radiographic outcomes.
- demographic data of the three groups will be also compared
- predictive factors of success will be also analyzed
- tooth color changes will be also measured using vita easy shade and will compared between the groups at 6 months and 1 year.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Degree of pain relief after treatment compared to preoperative pain level
Time Frame: 1 week
Absence of symptoms or significant pain reduction within the first week after treatment as measured on a numerical scale from 0 to 10 where zero means no pain and 10 is the most sever pain. Visual analogue scale will be also used.
Secondary Outcomes
- Radiographic normalcy(1 year and yearly up to 5 years)
