Pulp Protection in Selective Carious Tissue Removal

Chile142 participantsStarted 2019-03-13

Plain-language summary

Although selective removal of carious tissue to soft dentin (SRCT-S) has been proposed as the standard of care for the management of deep dentin caries, it is unclear whether a cavity liner is necessary. This double blinded randomized controlled clinical trial aims to analyze the behavior of a resin restoration performed after SRCT-S for deep dentin caries, treated either with a Glass Ionomer or only with a Self-Etching Adhesive, in permanent teeth. The study will include 142 restorations allocated to either experimental arm. After 12 and 24 months, restoration survival, pulp response and radiographic lesion progression will be assessed.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with a permanent molar or premolar with a deep caries lesion that compromises from the inner half of the dentin (determined by radiographic examination). * Tooth restorable by a direct resin restoration. * Absence of pulp sensibility verified by cold test * Absence of a history of spontaneous pain or vertical and horizontal percussion. * Absence of periapical lesion, verified through periapical radiographs. * Primary injury. Exclusion Criteria: * Systemic conditions with poor control or uncompensated. * Cervical margin of the cavity in dentin or root cement. * Tooth already restored or with secondary caries.
