Trial Design

2Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: PulpotomyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Group A: The patient will benefit from an experimental treatment: a Pulpotomy. The pulpotomy aims at removing the coronal part of the pulp (the pulp present in the pulp chamber) and filling the pulp chamber with a bioactive material.

Group II: Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention

Group B: Extracted teeth will serve as controls, and information regarding the need or not of space maintenance, and the impact on the occlusion and eruption of the succedaneous permanent tooth will be noted.
