Summary
This study compares three dental procedures—pulpotomy, partial pulpotomy, and direct pulp capping—all using a material called MTA, to treat deep cavities in children's baby molars.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show which technique best preserves baby teeth and avoids pain or infection, guiding dentists toward simpler, more effective treatments.
