AIM: -The aim of the study is to compare the outcome of Direct Pulp Capping and Partial Pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth with Reversible Pulpitis OBJECTIVES: - Primary Objective: to compare the difference in clinical and radiographic outcome of direct pulp capping and partial pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth with Reversible Pulpitis. Secondary objective: To evaluate and compare postoperative pain after Direct Pulp Capping and Partial Pulpotomy in teeth with Reversible Pulpitis STUDY GROUPS: - Subjects of age group 15 to 40 years will be included and divided into two groups 1. Direct Pulp Capping in Permanent mature molars with Reversible Pulpitis 2. Partial Pulpotomy in Permanent mature molars with Reversible Pulpitis

Effectiveness of Pulpotomy vs. Root Canal Treatment in Extremely Deep Caries

Recent clinical trials comparing pulpotomy versus root canal treatment (RCT) have shown promising outcomes; however, the current evidence lacks generalisability to general practitioners. It remains to be elucidated whether these favourable results can be replicated in a primary care setting. This study aims to address that gap by involving senior dental students undergoing supervised university education and training, with the potential to inform future best practice guidelines and promote the adoption of vital pulp therapy (VPT) as a predictable treatment alternative in the general dental population. The clinical procedure involves complete caries-free excavation carried out under rubber dam isolation. After confirming vital pulp status-demonstrated by bleeding upon entry, participants will be randomised to receive one of two treatments: RCT or full pulpotomy. Outcomes will include clinical and radiographic success or failure of the intervention at 12 months. Additionally, patient-reported outcomes will be collected, specifically pain experienced and the use of analgesia during the immediate post-operative period (days 3 and 7).

Outcome of Partial Pulpotomy in Moderate and Severe Pulpitis

The aim of the study is to compare the outcome of Partial Pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth with moderate and severe pulpitis. OBJECTIVE: Primary objective- to compare the difference in clinical and radiographic outcome of partial pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth with moderate and severe Pulpitis. Secondary objective- To evaluate and compare OHRQoL and postoperative pain after Partial Pulpotomy in teeth with Moderate Pulpitis and Severe Pulpitis. Subjects of age group 15 to 40 years will be included and divided into two groups 1. Permanent mature molars with Moderate Pulpitis 2. Permanent mature molars with Severe Pulpitis
