PROCEDURE

Complete Pulpotomy

"Complete caries removal and excision of the entire coronal pulp to the level of the root canal orifices will be performed. After haemostasis, the pulp chamber will be filled with Biodentine® and a final direct restoration placed in 1 or 2 visits.~If there is no bleeding from the exposed pulp, pulpectomy and root canal treatment will be performed instead, and the patient will be excluded from the study."

PROCEDURE

Pulpectomy and Root Canal Treatment

After complete caries removal and pulp exposure, Pulpectomy will be performed to remove all pulp tissues. Conventional root canal treatment will be performed using rotary instrumentation followed by obturation with gutta percha and traditional sealers in 1 or 2 visits. A final restoration will be placed to ensure a good coronal seal, and this may include full coronal coverage restorations if clinically indicated.
