Comparator Agent  FULL PULPOTOMY USING TWO BIOACTIVE MATERIALS IN MATURE PERMANENT TEETH DIAGNOSED WITH SYMPTOMATIC IRREVERSIBLE PULPITIS  The oral cavity will be rinsed with 0.2% chlorhexidine solution for 30 sec to minimize microbial contamination. Local anaesthesia will be administered using 2% lidocaine with 1:80000 adrenaline concentration to achieve profound pulpal anaesthesia. Upon achieving pulpal anaesthesia isolation of the tooth will be done with a rubber dam and all sides will be sealed with a liquid dam to ensure a contamination-free operative field. Caries removal will be done using high speed sterile number-2 round bur under water coolant. For cases with missing tooth walls, restoration of the wall will be first accomplished using a matrix system and composite resin prior to the pulp exposure to aid in isolation. Deepest layers of carious dentin will be disinfected with 3% of sodium hypochlorite prior to pulp exposure. Complete pulp deroofing will be done and exposed pulp tissue will be removed with new sterile round bur till the orifices and haemostasis will be achieved by placing a moist cotton pellet soaked in 3 % Sodium Hypochlorite over the pulp for 5 minutes, if the bleeding persists moist cotton will again be placed for another 5 minutes to achieve haemostasis. After 10 minutes if bleed continue case will not be eligible for the study and RCT will be considered. After achieving haemostasis, the pulpotomy material will be prepared according to manufactured instruction and pulpotomy material ie either MTAputty or Theracal -PT will be placed on pulpal floor at a thickness of 2-3mm thereafter sealed with light cured GIC followed by composite as final restoration Material.  
Intervention  Two interventional groups are present ie.Theracal PT group and MTA Putty group  The oral cavity will be rinsed with 0.2% chlorhexidine solution for 30 sec to minimize microbial contamination. Local anaesthesia will be administered using 2% lidocaine with 1:80000 adrenaline concentration to achieve profound pulpal anaesthesia. Upon achieving pulpal anaesthesia isolation of the tooth will be done with a rubber dam and all sides will be sealed with a liquid dam to ensure a contamination-free operative field.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   This is a randomized, doble blind, parallel group prospective study in which we are comparing the efficacy of two pulpotomy materials i.e. TheraCal PT and MTA PUTTY for mature permanent teeth diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
Pain assessment will be done in recall examination at 24-hour, 48-hour and1 week postoperatively after initial appointment by using heft parker scale.
If patient comes with pain after 7 days, then that case will be considered as an immediate failure in the study.
Routine clinical and radiographic examination will be done at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.
Data will be statistically analysed.
