Observational Cross-sectional Study Aiming to Determine the Correlation Between Pulpal Status and IL-8 and Presepsin Levels in the Pulpal Blood.

Observational cross-sectional study aims to determine the correlation between pulpal status and IL-8 and Presepsin levels in the pulpal blood.

Pelargonium Graveolens Essential Oil as a Pulpotomy Agent in Primary Teeth

The success of pulpotomy in primary teeth is critical for preserving function and arch integrity in children and depends largely on the biological properties of the medicament used. Given the limitations of mineral trioxide aggregate, Pelargonium graveolens essential oil has emerged as a potential alternative; however, its clinical performance as a pulpotomy agent remains insufficiently investigated.

Evaluation of Cytokines Level as an Indicator of Pulp Inflammation and Its Relation to the Success Rates of Pulpotomy in Primary Molars Affected With Proximal Versus Occlusal Decay

pulpotomy will be done I primary molars with occlusal or proximal decay and level of cytokines will be measured as an indicator for pulp inflammation levels

Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Chitosan Versus Formocresol After Vital Pulpotomy of Primary Molars

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether Chitosan liquid will show similar clinical and radiographical success rate compared to Formocresol when used in vital pulp therapy in primary molars. The main question it aims to answer is: * Will Chitosan liquid, in comparison to Formocresol, show similar clinical outcomes in relation to presence/absence of post-operative pain, swelling, sinus and/or fistula formation when used in vital pulpotomy in primary molars? * Will Chitosan liquid, in comparison to Formocresol, show similar radiographical outcomes in relation to presence/absence of furcal involvement, periapical lesion, pathological root resorption and/or widening of periodontal membrane space when used in vital pulpotomy in primary molars? Following conventional pulpotomy procedure, the primary investigator will evaluate the effect of placing a cotton pellet damp with Chitosan liquid directly on radicular vital pulp compared to that of placing a cotton pellet damp with Formocresol on radicular vital pulp. Primary teeth included in both arms of the study will be restored by zinc oxide and eugenol and covered by a stainless steel crown as final restoration. The clinical trail will be followed up for 1 year. Clinical outcomes will be evaluated every 3 months. Radiographic outcomes will be evaluated every 6 months.
