Brief Summary  

Despite modern advances in the prevention of dental caries and increased understanding of the importance of maintaining the natural primary dentition, many teeth are still lost prematurely. Pulpotomy has remained an acceptable and mainstay treatment in preserving the vitality of the primary tooth and prolonging its life till the permanent successor erupts. The present study is a randomized, double blind, parallel group, active controlled trial to  evaluate  and compare the efficacy, both clinically and radiographically, of our new medicament Nano-hydroxyapatite and calcium hydroxide with 3% Nano-hydroxyapatite with the standard material MTA for pulpotomy.
