Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Pulpotomy  After anesthesia, rubber dam isolation coronal access will be made by sterile round diamond point. The coronal pulp tissue will be excised using a spoon excavator until the canal orifice. To achieve hemostasis, a sterile cotton pellet soaked in 5% NaOCl will be placed for 30 seconds after extensive rinsing of the cavity with normal saline. The pulpal wound will then be covered with a minimum 2-mm-thick layer of ProRoot MTA. GIC will be placed as a base over MTA and the remaining cavity will be restored with composite restoration. Occlusal adjustments of restorations will be done, finished, and polished. 
Comparator Agent  Root canal treatment  Following access cavity preparation and establishment of apical patency, root canals of will be cleaned and shaped using crown down technique. The canal will be fully irrigated after cleaning and shaping and master cone will be chosen in accordance with master apical file. By using a cold lateral compaction obturation technique, the canals will be sealed off using gutta-percha points. Post obturation restoration will be done by placing GIC as base followed by composite restoration.

Brief Summary  

The most common oral health issue is untreated dental caries in permanent teeth. Dental caries left untreated can result in the spread of bacteria and their toxins entering the dental pulp, inflaming it to varied degrees. In previous studies it has been observed that the underlying pulp continued to be free of inflammation even in advanced cases of inflammation with irreversible pulpitis, with only isolated portions of pulp in the coronal aspect experiencing bacterial invasion and micro abscesses. After excavation of infected coronal pulp tissue followed by restoration with biomimetic materials like MTA may prevent the further progress of infection. Thus, the vitality of the radicular pulp can be maintained. The Purpose of the current randomized controlled trial will be to assess the healing outcomes clinically and radiographically in adult patients diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. This is a prospective single blind (observer blind) open label trial. The post-operative pain levels and healing outcomes between Pulpotomy and RCT group will be assessed at baseline, 6 hours, 24 hours and 7 days post-operative time intervals and the data will be statistically analyzed using unpaired t-test (for parametric data) or Mann-Whitney U test (for non-parametric). Within group comparison for the post-operative pain levels between Pulpotomy and RCT group will be assessed at baseline, 6 hours, 24 hours and 7 days post- operative time intervals using repeated measure ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc (for parametric data) or Kruskal–Wallis ANOVA and Dunn’s post-hoc (for non-parametric).
