Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Healthy (ASA I and II) co-operative children (Frankl Scale + and ++) between the ages of four and nine years.
- Participants have symptoms typical of irreversible pulpitis in one of the primary molars.
- The pulp of the affected primary molar is vital.
- Radicular pulp health is confirmed by attainment of radicular pulp haemostasis within 6 minutes of coronal pulp amputation.
- The affected primary molars can be restored with full coverage stainless steel crowns.
- Any physiologic root resorption, if present, is less than ⅓ the root length.
Exclusion
- Clinical examination of affected primary molar reveals signs of pulpal infection (e.g. pathologic tooth mobility, parulis/fistula, or soft tissue swelling).
- Pre-operative periapical radiograph suggests presence of periapical radiolucency or pathologic root resorption.
- Visual examination of pulp tissue after deroofing reveals signs of necrosis (e.g. avascular/minimally bleeding pulp tissue or yellowish necrotic areas/purulent exudate).
- Signs of extensive radicular pulp inflammation i.e., root pulp bleeding continues even after 6-min.
- Parents not willing to place full coverage crowns post-treatment.
- Clinical diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis between two adjacent primary molars is not sharply defined.
- Unable to perform clinical procedure under rubber dam
