Summary

This trial aims to compare treatment outcomes between Pulpotomy and Pulpectomy in treating vital primary teeth diagnosed with deep caries with symptoms of irreversible pulpits

Conditions

  • Deep Caries

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Pulpotomy

After the chamber is deroofed and coronal pulp is amputated using a round-end fissure bur in a high-speed handpiece with adequate water spray and light pressure until canal orifices were reached, The access cavity is flushed with sterile normal saline solution. Saline-wetted cotton pellets were placed for about 5 minutes over amputation sites applying moderate pressure to control pulpal hemorrhage. After discarding the pellets, blood oozing was present, MTA+ Cerkamed will be manipulated in the ratio of 3:1 (powder: liquid) to obtain a putty mix. This mix will be placed over the radicular pulp with the help of a suitable sterile amalgam carrier. Gentle condensation of the mix will be done in the pulp chamber with a moistened cotton pellet, followed by application of glass ionomer cement.

PROCEDURE

Partial Pulpectomy

Pulp tissue extirpation is done. Biomechanical preparation is done using rotary files with frequent irrigation with Chlorhexidine. The canals are dried using sterile absorbent paper points followed by obturation by the paste of Zinc oxide and eugenol. The tooth with then be restored with stainless steel crown
