Context: Pulpotomy is a procedure in which part of an exposed vital pulp is removed, usually as a means of preserving the vitality and function of the remaining part. Aim: The aim is to compare the effectiveness of Dycal (CH), EndoSequence, and Titanium-prepared platelet-rich fibrin with EndoSequence (T-PRF) as pulpotomy agents in mature permanent molars with irreversible pulpitis. Settings and Design: Sixty permanent mandibular molars with carious exposure and symptoms of irreversible pulpitis were randomly allocated to three groups. Subjects and Methods: Full pulpotomy was performed using Dycal, EndoSequence, and T-PRF with EndoSequence as pulpotomy agents. Pain intensity was analyzed using a Numeric Rating Scale score at baseline 24 h, 7 days, 6 months, and 1 year. The clinical and radiographic evaluations were done at 6 months and 1 year. Statistical Analysis: Nonparametric tests (Kruskal–Wallis, Chi-square) were applied to analyze the data as the normality test does not follow a normal distribution. Results: T-PRF and EndoSequence showed effective results when compared clinically, and there was no significant difference between radiographic success rates among the three groups at (P = 0.325 at 6 months, 0.466 at 12 months) follow-up. Conclusion: T-PRF and EndoSequence showed higher success rates among Dycal, EndoSequence as pulpotomy agents in teeth with irreversible pulpitis.
