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
• Patients aged 15-40 years.
• Mature permanent mandibular molars with extremely deep caries on radiograph, giving positive response to pulp sensibility test.
• For Moderate Pulpitis- strong, heightened and prolonged reaction to cold, which can last for minutes, possibly percussion sensitive and spontaneous dull pain that can be more or less suppressed with pain medication.
• For Severe Pulpitis- Severe spontaneous pain and clear pain reaction to warmth and cold stimuli, often, sharp to dull throbbing pain, patients have trouble sleeping because of the pain (gets worse when lying down). Tooth is very sensitive to touch and percussion.
• Pulpal bleeding can be controlled within 10 minutes
• Patients having normal periapical status with periapical index (PAI) score ≤ 2
• Periodontally healthy teeth
• Positive response to pulp sensibility test
