Indirect Pulp Capping Versus Pulpotomy With MTA for Treatment of Primary Molars With Deep Caries

Indirect Pulp Capping Versus Pulpotomy With MTA for Treatment of Primary Molars With Deep Caries: An Equivalent Parallel Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of the current randomized controlled trial is to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes of indirect pulp capping and pulpotomy with MTA in treatment of primary teeth with deep caries over a 12-month follow-up period.
