Outcome of Complete Pulpotomy in Healthy and Type 2 Diabetic Patients in Permanent Teeth With Irreversible Pulpitis

Sponsor: Postgraduate Institute of Dental Sciences Rohtak

Summary

Endodontic research on the effects of DM on pulp tissues is scarce. Diabetic human and animal histological research demonstrated a decreased reparatory response in the pulp, resulting in chronic pulp inflammation and reduced dentin bridge formation. To date, there is no human clinical trial examining the impact of diabetes mellitus on teeth with irreversible pulpitis. As a result of the paucity of data in the literature, there is a clinical dilemma whether to recommend vital pulp therapy techniques or root canal treatment in diabetic patients with irreversible pulpitis. To the best of our knowledge, no prospective study has evaluated the outcome of complete pulpotomy in T2DM patients and healthy controls with irreversible pulpitis. The aim of this preliminary study is to compare and evaluate the success rates of pulpotomy in healthy and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in mature permanent teeth presenting with clinical symptoms of irreversible pulpitis.
