Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of cryotherapy on post-operative pain for pulpotomny in permanent mature carious posterior teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. The main question is: Do cryotherapy reduce post-operative pain and improve QoL in interested samples?

\[primary hypothesis or outcome measure 1\] Post-operative pain by Numerical rating scale scores.

\[primary hypothesis or outcome measure 2\] QoL of patients by OHIP-14

If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare pulpotomy incorperated with cryotherapy and without.

Participants will scoring VAS scores and OHIP-14 before and after treatment at designated time points.

Conditions

  • Pulpitis - Irreversible

Interventions

OTHER

Cryotherapy

After hemostasis is achieved, the pulpotomy area is irrigated for 5 minutes with normal saline solution, which is kept in the refrigerator set to 2.5°C (measuring with thermometer and record) by using a disposable insulated 5 ml syringe and 21-gauge needle is placed 1-2 mm above the root canal orifices and is constantly moved in a circular motion: 5 ml in each of 4 syringes, administered every 1.25 minutes per syringe.
