Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of both mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and bioceramic putty (Well-Root PT) in the pulpotomy of immature permanent molars diagnosed with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis. Materials and methods The study included 30 immature permanent molars with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis in 30 healthy children aged six to eight years. They were randomly distributed into the following two groups according to the material used: group 1 included 15 first permanent molars capped by MTA and group 2 included 15 first permanent molars capped by bioceramic putty.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of both Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and Bioceramic putty in primary molar pulpotomy with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis.
Materials And Methods: In this study, 40 s primary mandibular molars in 40 healthy children aged 6-8 years were examined and classified into 2 groups according to the material: group A, with 20 primary molars capped by MTA, and group B, with 20 teeth capped by Bioceramic putty.
Background: Root canal treatment in primary teeth is quite difficult and time-consuming, especially canal preparation. Pain is the most common negative outcome following root canal treatment, occurring hours or days after treatment. It is an unpleasant experience for both the patient and the dentist.

Therefore, different techniques have been evaluated to reach an answer to the question regarding which root canal preparation method produces the least amount of debris extrusion.
Objectives: The main objective of this study was to assess the amount of debris extrusion as well as irrigation associated with 3 different instrumentation techniques: a rotary system (PROTAPER NEXT® - PTN), a reciprocating system (WaveOne® - WO) and hand K-files.
