Clinical Trial Summary

Background The European Society of Endodontology (ESE) and the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) position statements on the management of deep caries and exposed pulp recommended adoption and promotion of strategies aimed at preserving the pulp, but also acknowledged the need for well-designed and adequately powered randomised control trials to provide the evidence needed to support vital pulp treatment (VPT) and change clinical practice. Objectives 1. To undertake a randomised controlled clinical trial comparing full pulpotomy with root canal treatment for mature maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth with signs and symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis and normal apical tissues in adults. 2. Undertake a cost-effectiveness analysis to examine the potential long-term costs and benefits of pulpotomy. 3. Undertake a process evaluation to assess the acceptability of the intervention to both dentists and patients, while exploring the barriers and enablers to implementation.
