Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to compare the one-year results of selective caries removal and partial pulpotomy treatments in terms of pulp survival and the need for further endodontic treatment in deep carious lesions.Individuals aged 18-65 years with medically healthy mature permanent teeth with deep caries will be included. The included teeth will be randomly assigned to the selective caries removal or partial pulpotomy group. Follow-up evaluations will be performed at 6 months and 12 months. The main outcome is pulp survival as determined by clinical and radiographic success.

Study Groups

selective caries removal

Deep caries lesions will be treated with selective caries removal and followed up

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

selective caries removal

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The caries is not completely removed but covered with a remineralizing material. Its purpose is to maintain pulp vitality.

partial pulpotomy

Deep caries lesions will be treated with partial pulpotomy and followed up

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

partial pulpotpmy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Complete cleaning of the caries resulting in pulp expose. pulp tissue is surgically removed by 1-3 mm.The aim is to remove the inflamed superficial pulp tissue to allow healing from the underlying healthy tissue.
