Cukurova University75 enrolled

Overview

This randomized clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), chlorhexidine (CHX), and cold saline as hemostatic agents in partial pulpotomy. The study compares postoperative pain (via VAS scores) and pulp survival (via clinical/radiographic evaluation) at 1, 3, 7 days, 6 months, and 12 months

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Postoperative Pain

The patient will be asked to rate the pain on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day according to VAS. (The patient is asked to score their pain in this range, with 0 being the lowest and 10 being the highest.)

Time frame: 1 week

Pulp Survival Rate

The pulp is expected to be vital, without percussion tenderness and without spontaneous pain

Time frame: 12 months

Secondary Outcomes

Clinical Success

Maintaining the integrity of the restoration No need for endodontics treatments

Time frame: 12 months
