About this trial
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of NeoPutty MTA compared to formocresol in vital pulpotomy of mandibular primary molars in children aged 4 to 9 years. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups (1:1) to receive pulpotomy using either NeoPutty MTA or formocresol, followed by restoration with stainless steel crowns. Clinical and radiographic outcomes will be assessed during follow-up visits.
