Tests treatment safety and results for Extremely Deep Caries
Official title Effectiveness of Pulpotomy vs. Root Canal Treatment in Extremely Deep Caries
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07242742
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Recent clinical trials comparing pulpotomy versus root canal treatment (RCT) have shown promising outcomes; however, the current evidence lacks generalisability to general practitioners. It remains to be elucidated whether these favourable results can be replicated in a primary care setting.
