| Summary | This study is for children and young adults who have a severe toothache in a permanent back molar, caused by an inflamed nerve (a condition called irreversible pulpitis). Usually, the treatment for this is a root canal, which removes the entire nerve. However, a different treatment called "vital pulp therapy" or "pulpotomy" may be an option. This simpler procedure removes only the infected part of the nerve, leaving the healthy part alive, and then seals the tooth with a special material. The goal of our research is to see if we can make this pulpotomy procedure even more comfortable for patients afterward. We are testing two approaches: Using a modern dental filling material called EndoCem to seal the tooth. Using the same EndoCem material, but first applying a gentle laser to the healthy |
