Partial Versus Complete Pulpotomy Using Three Different Materials in Primary Molars: a Clinical Study

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2021-11-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purposes of the study to compare partial pulpotomy versus complete pulpotomy in primary molars using three different materials (Formocresol, MTA, Theracal LC) . After 6, 9, 12 and 15 months follow up each case will be evaluated radiographically and clinically. the radiographic criteria to be evaluated are (radiolucency, resorption, widening in periodontal ligament space, Crypt involvement) and clinical criteria are ( pain, tenderness, fistula, abnormal mobility) upon these criteria some recommendations will be made on success and failure rate of each material and each technique.

• Phase: Phase 4
