The current study aims to assess the influence of different scaffolds on postoperative pain and success rate of pulpotomy in mandibular mature molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis
The study aims to assess different scaffolds used in regenerative pulpotomy of mature permanent mandibular first molars diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and their influence on postoperative pain and clinical and radiographic success rate of pulpotomy. It also aims to correlate the level of inflammatory mediators in pulpal blood to the success rate of pulpotomy.
