About this trial

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

Disqualifiers

Primary molars with spontaneous pain.

Medically compromised patients who have systemic disease.

Uncooperative children who refuse treatment.
