Study Overview

Brief Summary

To evaluate the effect on the outcome of cariously exposed permanent posterior teeth treated with partial/complete pulpotomy using a bioceramic material. The novel (but commercially available) bioceramic material will be placed as the medicament over the amputated pulp stumps and a permanent, well-sealing restoration would be placed on top of it. The biological response would be assessed at fixed follow-up intervals where defined clinical and radiographic parameters will be assessed.
