Summary

Objective:

To assess which is the most efficient pulpotomy medicament on tooth survival in patients with a cariously-exposed vital young permanent molar regarding: absence of postoperative pain, sinus or swelling, internal/ external root resorption, periapical radiolucency), root maturation and decrease chair side time of treated patient.
