- Brief Summary
This clinical study aims to assess the efficacy of using calcium silicate based sealer as a capping material after complete removal of coronal pulp tissue. The study will evaluate both the clinical and radiographic changes.
- Detailed Description
Root canal treatment has always been considered the first line of treatment for carious teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis for a long time. However, after the evolution of calcium silicate based materials a more conservative option, which is pulpotomy began to gain reliability, especially that it preserves the vitality of the radicular pulp, clinically simpler, less time-consuming, and more cost-effective compared to conventional root canal treatment.
In this study the investigators assess the clinical and radiographic success rate of using calcium silicate based sealer as a pulp capping material in permanent molars after pulpotomy.
For the best of the investigators\' knowledge, there is no available clinical data on the use of calcium-silicate based sealers as a pulp capping material in pulpotomy of permanent molars with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Cinical success after full pulpotomy procedure At 3 months Clinical evaluation of the targeted tooth is performed and the treatment is considered successful in case of: absence of post-operative pain, absence of pain on percussion and palpation, absence of any swelling related to the treated tooth, absence of sinus tract or fistula and absence of tooth mobility.
Clinical success after full pulpotomy procedure At 12 months Clinical evaluation of the targeted tooth is performed and the treatment is considered successful in case of: absence of post-operative pain, absence of pain on percussion and palpation, absence of any swelling related to the treated tooth, absence of sinus tract or fistula and absence of tooth mobility.
Radiographic success after full pulpotomy procedure At 12 months Radiographic evaluation of the targeted tooth is performed and the treatment is considered successful in case of presence of normal periodontal ligament space, absence of internal or external root resorption, absence of canal calcification, absence of peri-radicular radiolucency and no loss or break of lamina dura.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Assessment of Post-operative pain after full pulpotomy procedure 6 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours and 7 days The postoperative pain was assessed by using the modified verbal descriptor Scale (mVDS). Patients were instructed to place a mark on the horizontal scale to represent the intensity of pain experienced, furthermore, they were asked to use the verbal descriptors as a guide. The level of pain was documented at the range of 0-10 numerically and verbally as no pain (0), slight pain (1, 2), moderate pain (3-5), strong pain (6, 7), severe pain (8), and maximum pain (9, 10).
