Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative pain

    postoperative pain will be recorded by patient using NRS

    at 6 hours postoperative

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Intensity of postoperative pain

    at 24, 48 hours and 7 days

  • Treatment success

    at 3,6,12 months

Study Arms (2)

Root canal treatment

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

after access cavity preparation, the working length will be determined. chemo-mechanical preparation will be done, and teeth will be obturated. final restoration will be placed.

Procedure: Root canal treatment

Vital pulp therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

exposed pulp will be capped with 3 mm calcium silicate material

Procedure: Vital pulp therapy

Interventions

after access cavity preparation, the working length will be determined. chemo-mechanical preparation will be done, and teeth will be obturated. final restoration will be placed.

Also known as: RCT, Full pulpectomy
Root canal treatment

exposed pulp will be capped with 3 mm calcium silicate material

Also known as: pulpotomy
Vital pulp therapy
