About this trial

this clinical trial is evaluating the outcome of laser assisted pulpotomy compared to conventional pulpotomy in mature teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) assessed by CBCT followed by automated segmentation using Artificial intelligence (AI).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Permanent molar teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.

The patient should be ≥ 16 to 50 years old.

Teeth should give positive response to cold testing and clinical diagnosis of SIP with or without periapical rarefaction.

Teeth will be selected only if they are restorable.

Disqualifiers

Teeth with necrotic pulp, resorption or subgingival caries.

Teeth with open apices.

Medically compromised patients.

Pregnant patients.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Diode laser

    Device

    a contact-type laser, it selectively and precisely affects only the tissues directly beneath it, thereby preserving the surrounding radicular tissue

  • Sodium Hypochlorite Solution

    Other intervention

    A disinfecting agent used in conventional pulpotomy procedures
