Comparative evaluation of laser activated collagen and Light cure MTA as a novel pulpotomy agent: A randomized control trial

After the selection of participants, the procedure will begin with administration of local anesthesia and the teeth will be isolated. The soft carious lesions will be first excavated using a spoon excavator, followed by which access opening will be performed using a high-speed bur with the aerator. Following the initial drop into the pulp chamber, the tooth will be reassured by operative diagnosis by analyzing the nature of the pulpal bleeding. Following the Satisfactory operatory diagnosis, the treatment will be continued, the pulp chamber will be completely deroofed, the coronal portion of the pulp will be removed with the intact untouched radicular pulp, and finally, irrigation will be done with saline to remove the dentinal debris. A cotton pellet dipped with saline will be placed over the root canal orifice to attain hemostasis, followed by which Light cure MTA pulpotomy and Laser enhanced collagen-based pulpotomy will be carried in their respective groups. After the pulpotomy procedures the tooth will be restored with the Stainless steel crowns.

Follow up will be done at 1 month, 3 month, 6 months and 12 months. At each time period clinical (pain, tenderness to percussion, abscess, swelling, fistula, and pathologic mobility) and radiographic analysis(radicular radiolucency, internal and external root resorption, periodontal ligament space widening, and furcation radiolucency) will be made.
