What this Trial Is About
Title: Comparative evaluation of direct pulp capping and complete pulpotomy in mature permanent mandibular molars with clinical signs indicative of moderate pulpitis: Randomized Clinical Trial Rationale: According to new Wolters pulpal clinical classification, Moderate pulpitis exhibit symptoms of prolonged reaction to cold, which can last for minutes, possibly percussion sensitive and spontaneous dull pain which are correspond to irreversible pulpitis. Complete/partial pulpotomy are suggested to be the choice of treatment for such cases. It has been suggested that infection is often the cause of inflammation, an inflamed pulp should be able to heal if the source of infection is eliminated as in other body organs. Removal of trigger (i.e. caries) followed by application of biocompatible material which makes a good seal in a sterile environment has potential to allow for recovery and healing of the inflamed pulp tissue which is thought to be beyond recovery. Based on this premise, DPC can be considered as minimally invasive approach for the management of teeth with inflamed pulps in place of the conventional approach of partial/complete pulpotomy in adults Research Question Does Direct Pulp Capping have comparable outcome with complete pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth with clinical signs indicative of moderate pulpitis?
