Outcome Following Use of Different Concentrations of NaOCl as Wound Lavage and Hemostatic Agent in Partial Pulpotomy

The aim of this randomised control trial is to compare the effect of different concentrations of NaOCl on outcome of partial pulpotomy in teeth with clinical signs indicative of irreversible pulpitis. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. clinical and radiographic outcome of partial pulpotomy following use of 5% and 3% NaOCl in mature permanent teeth with clinical signs indicative of irreversible pulpitis. 2. OHRQoL and pain experience after use of 5% and 3% NaOCl during partial pulpotomy in teeth with clinical signs indicative of irreversible pulpitis.

TITLE :- Outcome following use of different concentrations of NaOCl as wound lavage and hemostatic agent in partial pulpotomy: A Randomised control trial. Question it aims to answer: Does pulpal lavage using 3% and 5% sodium hypochlorite have comparable effect on outcome of partial pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth with clinical signs of irreversible pulpitis? P (Population) -Mature permanent mandibular molars with signs of irreversible pulpitis. I (Intervention) - 5% NaOCl C (Comparison) - 3% NaOCl O (Outcome) - 1. Assessment of clinical and radiographic success at 12 months of follow up. 2\. Assessment of OHRQoL and pain experience at baseline, post-operatively every 24 hours for 1 week and OHRQoL at 6 and 12 months. In literature pertaining to vital pulp therapy procedures, there is often a focus on comparing various materials or treatment methodologies. However, the use of sodium hypochlorite, holds significant importance in ensuring the successful outcome of the procedure. The previous studies indicate that the use of NaOCl presents as a confounding factor, compounded by variations among operators in their choice of high and low concentrations of NaOCl.So, there is a pressing need for a direct comparative analysis to assess the influence of varying sodium hypochlorite concentrations on the overall efficacy and success rates of vital pulp therapy procedures.
