Details and patient eligibility About. Full description. Patients will be screened for eligibility through obtaining medical and dental histories together with clinical [visual, palpation, percussion, cold sensitivity testing and probing] and radiographic evaluations for the teeth.
Caries will be removed using a round, high-speed bur with adequate water cooling. Cases will be randomly divided into two groups according to pulpotomy material either: Biodentine or Portland cement. Biodentine is mixed according to manufacturer's instructions and placed in a mm layer above the pulp tissue using an amalgam carrier and gently packed using a condenser. Initial setting is achieved after 12 minutes. Preparation of Portland cement: Industrial Portland cement is mixed with Bisthmus oxide or Barium sulphate radio-opacifier in a ratio.
Portland cement is mixed in a powder: distilled water ratio and placed in the pulp chamber and condensed against a moist cotton pellet. A small cotton pellet moistened with saline is placed in the pulp chamber against PC for 5 seconds to ensure water uptake then removed.
Appropriate interim restoration will be done and checked throughout follow up period. Patients will be referred for final restoration after endpoint of research. A post-operative periapical radiograph is taken after interim restoration placement. Patients will be contacted by telephone by the same operator to record pain intensity at 6, 12, 24, 48 and after 7 days.
