Different Hemostatic Agents Used in Partial Pulpotomy on Pulp Survival and Postoperative Pain
The Effect of Different Hemostatic Agents Used in Partial Pulpotomy on Pulp Survival and Postoperative Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Cukurova University
75 participants
May 1, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This randomized clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), chlorhexidine (CHX), and cold saline as hemostatic agents in partial pulpotomy. The study compares postoperative pain (via VAS scores) and pulp survival (via clinical/radiographic evaluation) at 1, 3, 7 days, 6 months, and 12 months
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria3
- Permanent teeth with carious pulp exposure (no spontaneous pain).
- Positive vitality test (Endo-Ice).
- No periapical radiolucency.
Exclusion Criteria3
- Systemic diseases affecting healing.
- Pregnancy.
- Non-vital pulp/necrosis

Interventions
2.5% NaOCl applied for 1 min to exposed pulp for hemostasis, followed by standard pulp capping
2% CHX applied for 1 min to achieve hemostasis, with identical subsequent steps to NaOCl group
Hemostasis via 4°C saline (1 Min), then standardized pulp capping
