Comparing Complete Pulpotomy and Root Canal Treatment in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes and Irreversible Pulpitis Evaluating Treatment Success and Quality of Life Over One Year

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating the effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM on teeth with irreversible pulpitis, a painful dental condition. This study compares two dental treatments complete pulpotomy and root canal therapy, in patients with T2DM. The aim is to understand which treatment has better success in managing irreversible pulpitis in mature permanent mandibular posterior teeth, as limited prior research has focused on diabetic patients with this condition. The study involves two treatment groups one receiving complete pulpotomy and the other undergoing root canal treatment. Complete pulpotomy involves removing the exposed pulp tissue, controlling bleeding, and placing a biologically active material to promote healing, followed by restoration. Root canal treatment is performed in a single visit with cleaning, shaping, and filling of the root canals using standard dental instruments and irrigation. Both treatments are evaluated over a one-year period. Participants will be monitored through clinical and radiographic examinations at 3, 6, and 12 months to assess treatment success. Quality of life will also be assessed at 1 week, 6 months, and 12 months post-treatment. The study tracks healing, tooth vitality, and patient well-being related to dental health. The total study duration for each participant is one year, with close follow-up to evaluate outcomes and safety.
