The study is a clinical trial that assesses the clinical and radiographic success rates of 3 conservative pulp therapy treatments in primary molars compared to conventional pulpotomy using a bioactive dual cured calcium silicate cement (TheraCAL PT).
Participating Children will be recruited from the outpatient's clinic of pediatric dentistry department , Faculty of Dentistry Ain Shams University and will be allocated to one of the following groups; Indirect pulp capping, direct pulp capping, partial pulpotomy or pulpotomy. TheraCAL PT, a dual cured tricalcium silicate cement will be used in all groups as the pulp capping material. Children will be followed every 6 months for a period of 1 year to evaluate clinical and radiographic success.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| indirect pulp capping | Experimental | TheraCAL PT will be applied to affected dentin covering the pup. |
|
| Direct pulp Capping | Experimental | TheraCAL PT will be applied to pinpoint pulp exposures surrounded by sound dentin. |
|
| Partial Pulpotomy | Experimental | Pulp exposure will be enlarged to a depth of 1-3 mm by a sterile round diamond bur, and then TheraCAL PT will applied after hemostasis. |
|
| pulpotomy | Experimental | complete removal of coronal pulp tissue will be attempted if bleeding persisted after attempting Partial pulpotomy for exposures that are not eligible for DPC. TheraCAL PT will be applied thereafter, after achieving hemostasis. |
