Abstract
To compare the patients’ analgesic intake after pulpotomy and root canal treatment and to compare the time span of both endodontic procedures. A total of thirty-four permanent mandibular molars with signs and symptoms of irreversible pulpitis were randomly assigned to a pulpotomy group (n=17) and root canal treatment (RCT) group (n=17). Endodontic procedure duration was recorded for both groups. Analgesic intake for each patient was recorded up to the fourth day post treatment. In management of mature permanent teeth with carious exposure, pulpotomy may be preferred because it is a simple technique requiring less time and patients requires significantly less analgesics postoperatively.
