About

The aim of this study was to compare the one-year results of selective caries removal and partial pulpotomy treatments in terms of pulp survival and the need for further endodontic treatment in deep carious lesions.Individuals aged 18-65 years with medically healthy mature permanent teeth with deep caries will be included. The included teeth will be randomly assigned to the selective caries removal or partial pulpotomy group. Follow-up evaluations will be performed at 6 months and 12 months. The main outcome is pulp survival as determined by clinical and radiographic success.

Enrollment: 70 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 65 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
