Brief Summary  

      Teeth diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis are characterized by having spontaneous, intense and lingering pain (often lasting 30 seconds or more after stimulus removal) that is often triggered by thermal stimuli.The preferred treatment of choice in such a scenario will be conventional non- surgical endodontic treatment (NSET) which has a success rate of 95% with an excellent prognosis.   In recent times, there has been a paradigm shift in treating teeth diagnosed with SIP with Vital Pulp Therapy (VPT).  “Full pulpotomy refers to the complete removal of the coronal pulp and application of a biomaterial directly onto the pulp tissue at the level of the root canal orifice, prior to placement of a permanent restoration”.  Taha NA et al 2018,2022 study, Cushley et.al, Jassal A et.al, Kumar V et al studies had a success rate of 83% to 98% full pulpotomy of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis teeth, all these studies had inclusion criteria of healthy individuals and exclusion of patients having any systemic disease.  Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global health concern characterized by insulin resistance and hyperglycemia.Type2 DM group exhibited a higher proportion of M1 macrophages. Various cytokines produced by M1 macrophages could be responsible for delayed wound healing.     Diabetic patients may present with altered inflammatory responses and delayed healing as concluded in a prospective study conducted by Arya S et al (2017). The authors compared the success of primary root canal treatment between type 2 diabetic and nondiabetic patients and found that diabetes mellitus (DM) may have a negative impact on the outcome of endodontic treatment in terms of periapical healing.This also suggests that T2DM may have an effect on the outcomes of dental treatments like pulpotomy.    While full pulpotomy has shown favorable outcomes in systemically healthy patients, it is crucial to assess whether similar results can be expected in patients with T2DM.There is a gap in the current literature on the outcomes of full pulpotomy specifically in patients with T2DM, and hence this study planned to conduct.
