Partial Pulpotomy vs Selective Removing in Deep Caries
Sponsor: Cukurova University
Summary
The aim of this study was to compare the one-year results of selective caries removal and partial pulpotomy treatments in terms of pulp survival and the need for further endodontic treatment in deep carious lesions.Individuals aged 18-65 years with medically healthy mature permanent teeth with deep caries will be included. The included teeth will be randomly assigned to the selective caries removal or partial pulpotomy group. Follow-up evaluations will be performed at 6 months and 12 months. The main outcome is pulp survival as determined by clinical and radiographic success.

Interventions
selective caries removal
The caries is not completely removed but covered with a remineralizing material. Its purpose is to maintain pulp vitality.
partial pulpotpmy
Complete cleaning of the caries resulting in pulp expose. pulp tissue is surgically removed by 1-3 mm.The aim is to remove the inflamed superficial pulp tissue to allow healing from the underlying healthy tissue.
