Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Potassium Nitrate in Polycarboxylate Versus Mineral Trioxide Aggregate in Vital Pulpotomy in Primary Molars

The purpose of this RCT is to compare the clinical/radiographic outcomes of Potassium nitrate in polycarboxylate cement and MTA as pulpotomy biomaterials used for asymptomatic vital primary lower second molar and this will help to clinically evaluate the use of alternative material in vital pulpotomy in primary molars with deep carious cavities. Emphasis is set on avoiding total pupectomy and maintaining radicular pulp vitality therefore maintain the tooth in a viable condition till it's shedding and eruption of the permanent successor.
