Evaluation of Cytokines Level as an Indicator of Pulp Inflammation and Its Relation to the Success Rates of Pulpotomy in Primary Molars Affected With Proximal Versus Occlusal Decay

"* Local anesthesia will be administered, and the tooth will be isolated with a rubber dam.~* To minimize further bacterial contamination, carious tissues will be removed progressively, starting from the cavity periphery and then over the pulp chamber roof.~* Before managing the pulpal hemorrhage, a sterile cotton pellet will be placed over the pulp tissue for 30-45 s.~* A fresh sterile bur will be used to remove all coronal pulp tissue down to the root canal orifices, with copious water irrigation~* MTA will be used as medicament of choice for pulpotomy.~* The pulpotomy-treated tooth will be prepared to receive a full-coverage stainless steel crown (SSC) after the procedure."
