About this trial
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).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers

Disqualifiers
1. Clinical signs of pulpal infection, such as pathologic tooth mobility, parulis/fistula, or soft tissue swelling.
