Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
group 1: Eggshell Powder
30 primary molars will be treated with Eggshell Powder freshly mixed with distilled water till it reaches a suitable consistency (1:1 ratio by volume) to cover pulp stumps
pulpotomy
Teeth will be anesthetized then Rubber dam and high suction will be used in pulpotomy procedure. Cavity outline was performed by sterile #330 high speed bur using water spray. Caries was removed by large spoon excavator. When pulpal exposure occurred, the roof of pulp chamber removed by low speed round bur. Haemostasis was obtained by applying pressure with moist cotton pellet with saline. Then the test materials was applied. after that, pulp stumps of all molars in each group will be dressed using Intermediate restorative material then the tooth will be restored with a preformed stainless steel crown
cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) assessment
a post-operative CBCT image will be taken immediately after completing the procedure with fixed exposure parameters (120 Kv, 5mA, and 0.125mm voxel size) using the smallest field of view (8D, 8Hcm) also, after 12 months follow-up periods.
group II: biodentine
30 primary molars will be treated with biodentine to cover pulp stumps
pulpotomy
Teeth will be anesthetized then Rubber dam and high suction will be used in pulpotomy procedure. Cavity outline was performed by sterile #330 high speed bur using water spray. Caries was removed by large spoon excavator. When pulpal exposure occurred, the roof of pulp chamber removed by low speed round bur.

group III: mineral tri-oxide aggregate (MTA)
30 primary molars will be treated with MTA to cover pulp stumps
pulpotomy
Teeth will be anesthetized then Rubber dam and high suction will be used in pulpotomy procedure. Cavity outline was performed by sterile #330 high speed bur using water spray.
