Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of MTA Pulpotomy Versus Conventional Pulpectomy in Primary Molars With Irreversible Pulpitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Overview
This study is designed to compare between MTA Pulpotomy (Removal of coronal pulp tissue, placing MTA and covering with Stainless steel crown) Versus Conventional Pulpectomy (Removal of radicular pulp tissue, placing Zinc Oxide/Eugenol and covering with Stainless steel crown) in irreversible pulpitis in primary second molars.
Interventions
- Procedure Conventional Pulpectomy
Removal of radicular pulp tissue, placing Zinc Oxide/Eugenol and covered by stainless steel crown - Procedure MTA Pulpotomy
Removal of coronal pulp tissue, placing MTA and covered by stainless steel crown
Primary outcome measures
- • rate of clinical success [Time frame: 12 months]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
