Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

* Patients will be screened for eligibility through obtaining medical and dental histories together with clinical \[visual, palpation, percussion, cold sensitivity testing and probing\] and radiographic evaluations for the teeth.
* After ensuring eligibilty, profound local anesthesia of the tooth will be achieved using 4% Articaine with 1: 100000 epinephrine (Septodont. Saint-Maur-des-Fosses. France).
* Caries will be removed using a round, high-speed bur with adequate water cooling.
* Cases will be randomly divided into two groups according to pulpotomy material either: Biodentine or Portland cement. Biodentine is mixed according to manufacturer's instructions and placed in a 2-3 mm layer above the pulp tissue using an amalgam carrier and gently packed using a condenser. Initial setting is achieved after 12 minutes. Preparation of Portland cement: Industrial Portland cement is mixed with Bisthmus oxide or Barium sulphate radio-opacifier in a 3:1 ratio. The mix is sieved through silk sieve then sterilized in hot air oven at 135 ֯C for 2 hours. Portland cement is mixed in a 3:1 powder: distilled water ratio and placed in the pulp chamber and condensed against a moist cotton pellet. A small cotton pellet moistened with saline is placed in the pulp chamber against PC for 5 seconds to ensure water uptake then removed.
* Appropriate interim restoration will be done and checked throughout follow up period. Patients will be referred for final restoration after endpoint of research. A post-operative periapical radiograph is taken after interim restoration placement.
* Patients will be contacted by telephone by the same operator to record pain intensity (at 6, 12, 24, 48 and after 7 days).
* Clinical and radiographic evaluation is scheduled at 3 months postoperatively, and the outcome will be determined according to clinical and radiographic criteria. Clinical criteria include: absence of tenderness to palpation or percussion and the tooth is functional, normal mobility and probing pocket depth. Soft tissues around the tooth are normal with no swelling or sinus tract. Radiographic criteria include: absence of periapical pathosis evident on the radiograph such as root resorption, root canal calcification, furcal pathosis or new periapical rarefaction. In case of failure, the tooth will be treated endodontically and referred for final restoration.

Biodentine

Biodentine (BD; Septodont, St Maur-des-Fosses, France) is a calcium silicate capping material. Biodentine is mixed according to manufacturer's instructions and placed in a 2-3 mm layer above the pulp tissue using an amalgam carrier and gently packed using a condenser. Initial setting is achieved after 12 minutes.

Pulpotomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Pulpotomy is the term for removal of the coronal pulp with the intent of maintaining the vitality of the remaining radicular pulp tissue.

Portland cement

Preparation of Portland cement: Industrial Portland cement is mixed with Bisthmus oxide or Barium sulphate radio-opacifier in a 3:1 ratio. The mix is sieved through silk sieve then sterilized in hot air oven at 135 ֯C for 2 hours.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Exposed permanent teeth with mature roots.
* Asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis (no or mild symptoms) and Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis {spontaneous pain or pain exacerbated by cold stimuli and lasting for a few seconds to several hours (interpreted as lingering pain)} compared to contralateral normal teeth, and which could be reproduced using cold testing.
* Pre-operative pain assessed as none (but clinically exposed), moderate or severe on Numerical Rating Scale (NRS).
* The tooth is restorable and free from advanced periodontal disease.
* Soft tissues around the tooth are normal with no swelling or sinus tract.
* Vital bleeding pulp tissue should be present in all canals after pulpotomy.
* Age: more than 18 years

Exclusion Criteria

* Immature teeth.
* Necrotic pulp and absence of bleeding upon exposure.
* Teeth unresponsive to cold stimulation, presence of sinus tracts or swelling, presence of periapical rarefaction, internal or external root resorption or root canal calcification on radiograph.
* Non-restorable teeth or teeth indicated for post and core restoration
* Teeth with severe periodontal disease.
* Any serious medical problem that prevented the patient from receiving treatment or attending follow-up visits. Pregnant or lactating female patients.
* Patients who used long-acting Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) before treatment.
