Evaluate clinically and radiographically the effect of biodentine and hyaluronic acid (HA) versus formocresol (FC) as pulpotomy medications in primary molars.
Split mouth randomized controlled clinical trial. This study will be conducted on 96 teeth from 48 children in age group 4-7 years and have bilateral lower primary molars indicated for vital pulpotomy procedure. for: 1. Clinical evaluation of biodentine, hyaluronic acid and formocresol groups according to presence of failure criteria at different follow up periods. 2. Radiographic evaluation of biodentine, hyaluronic acid and formocresol groups according to presence of failure criteria at different follow up periods.

Molars will be anesthetized by local anesthesia. The rubber dam will be used for isolation. Caries will be removed by large spoon excavator. When pulpal exposure occurs, deroofing of the pulp chamber will be achieved then pulpal tissue will be amputated using sharp excavator. Hemostasis will be obtained by applying pressure with saline moist cotton pellet. If bleeding has not stopped within 5 min, tooth will be excluded from the study.Teeth will be treated by using squeezed sterile cotton pellet with 20% formcresol for 1 minute
