Clinical and Radiographic Assessment of Photobiomodulated MTA Pulpotomy in Immature First Permanent Molars with Irreversible Pulpitis
Sponsor: Mansoura University
Summary
This study evaluates the effectiveness of photobiomodulation (PBM) in conjunction with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) pulpotomy for treating irreversible pulpitis in immature first permanent molars. PBM, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is used to enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and manage pain in young teeth. The randomized clinical trial involves 72 children aged 6-9 years, divided into two groups: one receiving MTA pulpotomy alone and the other receiving MTA pulpotomy with PBM. Clinical and radiographic outcomes will be assessed at intervals over 15 months. This research aims to determine the combined therapy's efficacy in improving pulp healing and reducing post-operative discomfort compared to MTA alone.

Interventions
MTA Pulpotomy without photobiomodulation
This intervention involves the application of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) to the pulp chamber after the removal of the coronal pulp tissue in first permanent molars with irreversible pulpitis. The procedure is performed without the use of photobiomodulation (low-level laser therapy). The MTA is placed as a seal to preserve the vitality of the remaining radicular pulp.
MTA Pulpotomy with Photobiomodulation (LLLT)
This intervention combines MTA pulpotomy with photobiomodulation (low-level laser therapy). After performing the MTA pulpotomy, low-level laser therapy is applied to the pulp stumps to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and modulate pain. The laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity and enhance the regeneration of pulp tissue.
