Filter by:Aim of the study: To evaluate clinical and radiographic success rates of silver diamine fluoride versus mineral trioxide aggregate as indirect pulp capping agents in deeply carious young first permanent molars.
The present study will be performed to evaluate: The remineralizing effect of Aloe Vera versus Diode laser on deep carious dentin after selective caries removal.
A randomized clinical trial that aims to evaluate clinical and radiographic success rates of indirect pulp capping and direct pulp capping in primary molars with reversible pulpitis using a light-cured tri-calcium silicate base material (TheraCal (LC)).
450 healthy children with primary teeth of deep carious lesions without signs or symptomes of irreverisible pulp damage was selected randompy divoded into 3 groups each of 150 children that inder go vital pulp therapy through pulpotomy,direct pulp capping or indirect pulp capping using MTA as capping material for each modality then followed up for 2 years or more
Conservative approaches such as indirect pulp capping techniques became popular over the last years for the management of deep carious lesions. In particular, indirect pulp-treatment (IPT) techniques have gained remarkable attention in pediatric dentistry, mainly because children require a fast and accurate treatment, besides it enables the affected primary tooth to remain in the mouth until exfoliation without causing any pain or infection.
Objectives: To evaluate and compare clinical and radiographic success of the selective removal to soft dentine technique in one step using calcium silicate cement (Biodentine) vs. no indirect pulp capping material in patients with deep caries lesions in mature permanent posterior teeth with normal or reversible pulpitis after a 2 year follow-up. Evaluate the integrity of the resin composite restorations using FDI criteria. Material and methods: selective removal to soft dentine in one visit will be performed in 104 blinded patients that will be randomly allocated into 2 study arms, 52 patients will constitute the Biodentine group and 52 the No material group. Clinical examination will be performed to obtain pre-, intra- and postoperative data, including vitality test results, periapical status and risk of caries of the patients. Periapical and bitewing radiographs will be taken before treatment (T-0), at 1 month (T-1), 6 months (T-2), 12 months (T-3) and 24 months (T-4). Restorations will be assessed using the FDI criteria at the same follow up periods.
Preserving pulpal vitality is a major challenge when excavating deep caries lesions without severe symptomatology. Pulpal exposure alters success of the treatment (dropping from 93% for indirect pulp treatment with selective excavation to 11% for direct pulpotomy) and thus prognosis of dental organ and cost-effectiveness of the treatment. The preoperative x-ray is a complementary examination which allows to estimate the depth of the carious lesion. In clinical practice, it is currently difficult to accurately measure this depth on preoperative radiographs. This lack of precision leads to a decrease in the effective capacity of the operator to predict the risk of pulpal exposure. Their interpretation is considered imprecise and is not used as a diagnostic element. The aim of this study was to determine if the use of pre-operative retroalveolar radiographs can help to predict pulpal exposure risk.
Light cured silicate based cement (theracal LC) pulpotomy was compared to formocresol pulpotomy in primary molars.
The aim of this randomized, controlled, three-arm parallel-group, double-blinded clinical trial was to evaluate the clinical, radiographic, and histopathological success of three different pulp-capping materials in one-stage indirect pulp treatment of primary teeth. The study included a total of 109 patients aged 5-9 years who had primary teeth with deep carious lesions with or symptoms of irreversible pulpitis. The teeth were divided into three groups according to the pulp-capping agents: (I) Calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH]2) (control group) (n=36), (II) bioactive tricalcium silicate (Biodentine) (n=37), and (III) resin-based tricalcium silicate (TheraCal LC) (n=36). All the teeth were evaluated clinically and radiographically at postoperative months 6, 12, 18, and 24. A total of 23 primary mandibular second molars that were in their regular exfoliation period (24-40 months) were extracted and fixed in 10% formaldehyde solution. The specimens were evaluated histologically to assess the integrity of the odontoblastic layer, tertiary dentin formation and the quality of the dentin formed, severity of pulpitis, and other pulpal changes.
