About this trial

This study will evaluate whether full pulpotomy can successfully treat mature permanent teeth with irreversible pulp inflammation and a periapical lesion. Full pulpotomy involves removing the inflamed pulp tissue from the crown of the tooth while preserving the healthy tissue inside the roots. The study will assess pain relief, patient satisfaction, and clinical and radiographic healing over time, including healing of the periapical lesion using dental X-rays and limited-field CBCT imaging. The findings may help determine whether full pulpotomy can provide a less invasive alternative to root canal treatment for selected teeth with periapical lesions.
