Hemostasis Achievement Reflecting Inflammatory Status of the Pulp Based on Cytokine Levels: A Cohort Study.

• primary teeth with carious pulp exposures during caries removal will be included in the study.
• primary molars with the presence of exudate, purulence or necrotic pulp tissue around the exposure site will be excluded

Inclusion Criteria:

1. healthy children
2. patients had not used any inflammatory medications

3. primary molar teeth of these children were included based on the following clinical and radiographic criteria:

   1. no clinical symptoms or evidence of pulp degeneration (pain on percussion, history of swelling or sinus tract
   2. no spontaneous pain
   3. no radiographic signs of internal or external resorption, widened periodontal ligament space, or furcal/periapical radiolucency
   4. physiological root resorption of no more than one third the root length
   5. a deep caries lesion with a likelihood of pulp exposure during caries removal

Exclusion Criteria:

• patients used any anti-inflammatory medication
