Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  full pulpotomy performed with an inert material (gelatin sponge)  The patient will be requested to rinse the oral cavity with 10 ml. of 0.2% Chlorhexidine digluconate Inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) will be administered to anesthetize the tooth. After 15minutes of IANB, the tooth will be subjected to EPT. A negative response would ensure the successful nerve block. Supplemental technique (Intraosseous injection/Intraligamentary/Intrapulpal injection) will be used to achieve anesthesia of the pulp in cause of failure of primary IANB. Once the anesthesia is achieved tooth will be isolated with rubber dam placement. The carious tooth structure will be removed and any missing proximal wall will be restored with composite. The access to pulp chamber will be gained using a round diamond bur operated at high speed under air water coolant. The inflamed coronal pulp tissue will be excised using a spoon excavator until the canal orifice. Visual inspection will be done for the presence of bleeding pulp tissue from all canals to confirm the pulp vitality. A pellet moistened with 2.5% NaOCl will be applied at the orifices for 2 min with a dry pellet on top for control of bleeding and will be repeated if required up to 10 min; bleeding time will be recorded. Once the haemostasis will be achieved, an inert material (gelatin sponge) will be placed above the pulpal floor. Above that a layer of RMGIC will be placed and light cured for 20s. The teeth will be finally restored with resin composite following the standard protocol and manufactures instructions. Rubber dam will be removed and occlusion will be checked, finishing and polishing will be accomplished with the appropriate polishing cups, points or both after the necessary occlusion adjustment.  
Comparator Agent  full pulpotomy performed with MTA  The patient will be requested to rinse the oral cavity with 10 ml. of 0.2% Chlorhexidine digluconate. Inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) will be administered to anesthetize the tooth. After 15minutes of IANB, the tooth will be subjected to EPT. A negative response would ensure the successful nerve block. Once the anesthesia is achieved tooth will be isolated with rubber dam placement. The carious tooth structure will be removed and any missing proximal wall will be restored with composite. The access to pulp chamber will be gained using a round diamond bur operated at high speed under air water coolant. The inflamed coronal pulp tissue will be excised using a spoon excavator until the canal orifice. Visual inspection will be done for the presence of bleeding pulp tissue from all canals to confirm the healhy vital pulp. A pellet moistened with 2.5% NaOCl will be applied at the orifices for 2 min with a dry pellet on top for control of bleeding and will be repeated if required up to 10 min; bleeding time will be recorded. Once the haemostasis will be achieved, ProRoot MTA will be mixed according to manufacturer’s instructions and placed in a 2-3 mm layer above the pulp tissue and gently packed using a condenser. A layer of RMGIC will be placed over ProRoot MTA and light cured for 20s. The teeth will be finally restored with resin composite following the standard protocol and manufactures instructions. Rubber dam will be removed and occlusion will be checked, finishing and polishing will be accomplished with the appropriate polishing cups, points or both after the necessary occlusion adjustment

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

Pulpotomy is the removal of the coronal portion of a vital pulp as a means of preserving the vitality of the remaining radicular portion. There are many factors affecting the success of pulpotomy, one of most critical is the sealing ability of the materials used Inspite of having higher success rate, pulpotomy procedure is not performed routinely as that of non surgical endodontic therapy as these materials are very expensive and it may limit their use in both developing as well as developed countries..

So, in order to know the influence of calcium silicate based cements on the outcome of full pulpotomy a study was designed to evaluate clinically and radiographically the outcome of full pulpotomy performed in mature permanent teeth with mechanical pulp exposure with use of  a) Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, b) Inert Material ( Gelatin Sponge)

For this study, full pulpotomy will be performed on bilateral similar teeth with mechanical pulp exposure and a suitable pulp capping agent will be place dover the remaining pulp tissue

in two groups as follows:

Group- I: Pulpotomy performed with MTA

Group- II: Pulpotomy performed with Inert material (Gelatin sponge)

In both the groups post endodontic restoration will be completed with glass ionomer cemnt and composite resin.

The patient followup will be done at 3, 6 and 12 months interval clinically and radiographically. Clinically presence or absence of symptoms will be assessed. The radiographs will be taken to observe the dentin bridge formation and to assess the periapical index(PAI) score. And the results will be statistically analyzed.
