itle: Evaluation of Pulpotomy using Neoputty MTA vs. Pulpectomy using Metapex in Children (4-9 years).
Objective: Compare clinical and radiographic success of pulpotomy vs. pulpectomy for vital primary molars with irreversible pulpitis.
Design: Randomized controlled trial with 2-arm parallel groups.
Participants: Healthy children aged 4-9 with specific inclusion/exclusion criteria.
Outcomes: Primary (pain relief, absence of complications) and secondary (radiographic success).
1. Symptoms typical of irreversible pulpitis, such as spontaneous, unprovoked pain lasting from a few seconds to several hours prior to the dental visit, or pain exacerbated by hot and/or cold stimuli that lingers even after the stimuli are removed.
1. Clinical signs of pulpal infection, such as pathologic tooth mobility, parulis/fistula, or soft tissue swelling.
