Indirect Pulp Capping Using Biodentine and Theracal Light-cured in Primary Molars

Egypt17 participantsStarted 2023-01-30

Plain-language summary

this study is aimed to conduct tomographic evaluation of reparative dentin bridges formed after indirect pulp capping with Biodentine and Theracal light cured. The null hypothesis of the study is that there will be no difference in the quantity and quality of reparative dentin formation between the tested materials used for the indirect pulp capping

Inclusion criteria

✓. Each child has bilateral vital cavitated carious lesions in primary molars.
✓. Positive vital pulp testing for both hot and cold response; is determined by ethyl chloride in cold pulp testing and heated gutta percha in hot pulp testing. Pain caused by these tests should not persist after the stimulus is removed.
✓. Patient and parent cooperation.
✓. Accessible isolation for the operated tooth with rubber dam.
✓. primary molars with cavitated carious lesion on either occlusal or proximal surface that extend into the dentin .
✓. Availability of remaining dentin thickness over the pulp.
✓. Normal lamina dura and periodontal ligaments. 8 Absence of external and internal root resorption.

Exclusion criteria

✕. Spontaneous pain, or persistent swelling or fistula.
✕. Pain with percussion, presence of abscess and pathological mobility.
✕. Uncooperative patient.
✕. Progression of caries lesion to pulp and pulp exposure.
✕. Presence of periapical lesion as abscess, cyst or granuloma.
✕. Unhealthy bony tissues.
