Summary

This study compares pulpotomy (removing only the infected part of the tooth's nerve) to root canal treatment for very deep cavities. About 93 people aged 12 and older with a single deeply decayed tooth will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The main goal is to see which treatment works better after one year, based on pain, signs of infection, and X-ray results.
