Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
higher the levels of MMP-9 in pulpal blood poorer will be the prognosis of pulpotomy procedure in mature teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitisTimepoint: 6 months,12 months
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical and radiographic outcome of pulpotomy procedure in teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.Timepoint: 6 months, 12 months;evaluatation of the correlation between level of MMP-9 in pulpal blood and time required to achieve hemostasis after pulpotomy in teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitisTimepoint: after measuring the level of MMP-9 by ELISA test.;Time required to achieve hemostasis after pulpotomy in teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.Timepoint: immediately at the point of procedure
