Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   In this project, partial pulpotomy versus full pulpotomy will be compared for their clinical success. Post operative pain level will be evaluated at day 3 and 7 after the pulpotomy treatment. MMP 9 and IL 6 will be correlated with the failed cases.
