In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This prospective controlled clinical trial investigates whether metabolic biomarkers measured in pulpal blood at the time of carious pulp exposure can predict the 12-month outcomes of vital pulp treatment in symptomatic permanent teeth. Eligible patients aged 16-50 years presenting with deep carious pulp exposure will undergo vital pulp therapy (partial pulpotomy or full pulpotomy). Pulpal blood samples will be collected at the time of exposure and analyzed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Treatment outcomes will be assessed clinically and radiographically at 12 months. The study aims to identify objective, measurable biomarkers that can improve pulpal diagnosis and guide clinical decision-making in vital pulp therapy.
