Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  NIL  NIL 
Intervention  Partial/full pulpotomy  After excavating caries (decay) under local anaesthesia and rubber dam isolation, if there is no pulp exosure, a well-sealing final restoration would be placed and the patient would be excluded from the study. If caries excavation results in pulp exposure, the pulp will be amputated either partially or completely depending on the time taken to stop bleeding. After cleaning the cavity thoroughly with sodium hypochlorite solution, the bioceramic material would be placed on top of the amputated pulp stumps. A well sealing restoration will be placed on top of this.

Brief Summary   To evaluate the effect on the outcome of cariously exposed permanent posterior teeth treated with partial/complete pulpotomy using a bioceramic material. The novel (but commercially available) bioceramic material will be placed as the medicament over the amputated pulp stumps and a permanent, well-sealing restoration would be placed on top of it. The biological response would be assessed at fixed follow-up intervals where defined clinical and radiographic parameters will be assessed.
