Summary

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare four different materials used in a dental procedure called pulpotomy. Pulpotomy is commonly performed on primary molars (back teeth in children) to treat deep cavities and preserve the tooth. Children aged 4 to 7 who need this procedure will receive one of four materials: Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, Ferric Sulfate, or Sodium Hypochlorite gel. The treated teeth will be checked at 6 and 12 months to evaluate the success of each material. The goal is to identify the most effective and reliable material for pulpotomy in primary molars.

Conditions

  • Dental Caries
  • Pulpitis

Interventions

DRUG

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA)

Used as the capping agent after coronal pulp removal in primary molars.

DRUG

Biodentine

Used as a bioactive pulpotomy agent following coronal pulp amputation.

DRUG

Ferric Sulfate

15.5% Ferric Sulfate applied to pulp stumps for 15 seconds during pulpotomy procedure.

DRUG

Sodium hypochlorite gel application

5% NaOCl gel applied to pulp tissue during pulpotomy for its hemostatic and disinfectant effects.
