Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of clinical and radiographic success rate and pain after pulpotomy in primary molars using Calcium-Enriched Mixture (CEM) cement and Ferric sulfate
Design
Clinical trial with intervention groups, with parallel, two-way blind and randomized groups on 24 patients. Simple randomization method (flip the coin) will be used to randomize.
Settings and conduct
This project will be carried out in the Department of Pediatrics of the Kerman Dentistry School. Before treatment, the patient becomes aware completely of two types of material used for treatment, but he/she does not know which substance is used for her/his tooth during treatment. Follow up evaluations are carried out by two researchers who are not aware of the type of treatment and they will comment on radiographic criteria. The statistician is not aware of the type of treatment.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: pulp exposure due to caries; restorable teeth with stainless steel crown; hemostasis could be easily achievable. Non inclusion criteria: pathologic mobility; history of spontaneous pain; sinus tracts; abscess or swelling; internal or pathologic external root resorptionan; interradicular or periapical radiolucency.
Intervention groups
Intervention group 1: CEM cement. This material is combined according to the manufacturer's instructions and placed on the pulp. Intervention group 2: Ferric sulfate. 15.5% ferric sulfate is placed on the pulp for 15 seconds. It is then washed and zonalin base is placed in the pulp chamber.
Main outcome variables
Internal resorption; dental abscess and fistula

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, the simple randomization method (flip the coin) will be used. In such a way that one of the study groups will be considered as heads and the other group will be considered as tails. Then the same number of coins will be thrown based on the sample size. Finally, to prevent disclosure of random sequencing, the allocation concealment will be used.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Before treatment, the patient becomes aware completely of two types of material used for treatment, but he/she does not know which substance is used for her/his tooth during treatment. Follow up evaluations are carried out by two researchers who are not aware of the type of treatment and they will comment on radiographic criteria. The statistician is not aware of the type of treatment.
