Protocol summary

Summary
Pulpotomy is one of the most common treatments for deciduice teeth used by dentists particularly pediatrists . This research aims to compare CEM ( introduced recently by Dr Asgary and colleagues) with other materials and techniques such as MTA , formocresol and laser use in pulpotomy of deciduice teeth. Nowadays , the most commonly used material for deciduice teeth pulpotomy treatment is formocresol .further investigations are needed on laser therapy of deciduice teeth .Some researches indicate relative superiority of CEM over MTA . in this randomized clinical trial study , 120 pair of first and second deciduice molar teeth who prescribed pulpotomy treatment of Patients aged 5-8 years old are divided into four test groups. In group one, a cotton ball soaked in formocresol is placed on canal orifices for 5 minutes , and after its color change ,pulp chamber is gently filled by 2 mm of reinforced ZOE . In group two and three, pulp chamber is filled gently by 2mm MTA and CEM, respectively .In these 3 groups ,SDI amalgam is used as tooth restoration . In group 4 ,laser is radiated into canal orifice using a specialized handpiece After clinical examinations and taking radiography in the same session ,patients will be reevaluated clinically and radiographically after 6 and 12 months.Results of clinical evaluations and priapical radiographies of the first session , 6th and 12th months will be recorded and compared.
