Summary

In this study, patients with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis in mature permanent molars were treated with two pulpotomies techniques after random allocation in either 2 groups: Diode laser pulpotomy and traditional pulpotomy using bioactive materials (retro mineral trioxide aggregate ) with each group.The null hypothesis of the study was there would be no difference in success rate between Diode laser and traditional methods of adult pulpotomy .

Conditions

  • Irreversible Pulpitis
  • Endodontic Inflammation

Interventions

OTHER

traditional pulpotomy

After complete deroofing, the coronal pulp was amputated to the level of the orifice using a high-speed size #2 round bur followed by rinsing the pulp chamber thoroughly with 5ml 0.9% saline solution.Hemostasis was then achieved by placing a sterile cotton pellet moistened with saline in the access cavity for 6 min.Retro MTA capping material was then applied,

DEVICE

diode laser pulpotomy

after establishing hemostasis, low-level laser energy at (970nm, power .5W, duty cycle 50%, and frequency 5H) was applied to each pulp stump for 10 sec. through 320 microns optical fiber tip . The laser was used in pulsed non-contact mode at the level of the occlusal surface of the tooth.Retro MTA capping material was then applied,
