Assessing Success of MTA and Pre-mixed Bioceramic in Mature Teeth With Irreversible Pulpitis With Full Pulpotomy.

Overview

Although many pulpotomy agents are commercially available, there is a dearth of clinical research comparing the efficacy of these agents in treating individuals with irreversible pulpitis. Bioceramic and MTA both have similar clinical uses, but Bioceramic is distinguished from MTA by its superior chemical, physical, and biological properties. This study aims to address this knowledge deficit by assessing the performance of biocompatible materials in pulpotomy procedures for the treatment of symptomatic permanent teeth in adults with deep caries. For permanent teeth with a completed root and a diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis without apical periodontitis, this research will compare the success rates of MTA and EBRRM pulpotomy procedures in order to provide evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of this disease.

The goal of this observational study is to test and compare the success of full pulpotomy with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) pre-mixed bioceramic in mature teeth with irreversible pulpitis. Participants in this study were patients with irreversible pulpitis without apical periodontal pathosis recruited from the waiting list at the School of Dentistry at Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences in Jamshoro. After obtaining informed consent, demographic information, clinical examination results, and binary variables were recorded pre- and intra-operatively. The study's primary aim was to assess postoperative pain, and secondary aims included assessing the presence of swelling, sinusitis, or fistula and detecting tooth mobility. Participants received either MTA or Endo Sequence Bioceramic Root Repair randomly allocated using a lottery system. Follow-up assessments were done initially, after 6 days, and after 6 months, and periapical radiography was done at 6 days and 6 months to detect radiolucency.
