      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In this study, a software has been designed to randomize the treatment group of participating patients. For each practitioner, eligible patients will be randomized into three study arms, using a computer-generated system; Randomization performed online via www.mcrct.ir website right after the recording of patient's demographic data and before the starting of treatment (allocation concealment). Patients stratified with 1:1:1 allocation in the three study arms.</study_design>

    <criteria>
      <inclusion_criteria>A vital molar tooth (confirmed with cold spray and electric pulp tester before treatment and visual inspection of pulpal hemorrhage after access cavity preparation)
A history of pain indicating irreversible pulpitis (i.e. spontaneous localized/generalized pain, pain stimulated by hot and cold fluids that lasts after elimination of the stimulus and is reproducible with cold testing)
Pulp exposure during caries removal when no sign of irreversible pulpitis is present
Patients in the range of 12 to 65 years
Patients who accept to attend for recalls
Patients who approve and sign the written informed consent</inclusion_criteria>
      <agemin>12 years</agemin>
      <agemax>65 years</agemax>
      <gender>Both</gender>
      <exclusion_criteria>Patients with systemic conditions that disturbe tissue healing process (including diabetes, cancer, endocrine diseases, AIDS and consumption of corticosteroids)
Patients with epinephrine intolerance
Pregnant/nursing women
Physically disabled or mentally retarded patients
Patients with poor oral hygiene or those with periodontal diseases, where the long term preservation of the tooth may not be possible
Immigrants such as those from Afghanistan, who are likely to leave the country during the subsequent two years
Patients younger than 12 (for 1st molar treatment) and 17 (for 2nd molar treatment) and patients older than 65;
Non-vital/partially necrotic teeth confirmed with primary examinations or diagnosed after access cavity preparation
Teeth with pulpal inflammation spreading beyond the canal orifices, and continuous bleeding after placement of cotton pellet soaked in 2.5% sodium hypochlorite for a maximum of 10 minutes
Teeth that are not appropriate candidates for class I and II (Occlusal, MO, DO, MOD) restoration and require complicated build-ups, crown lengthening or prosthetic crown
