Clinical Trial Summary

The present study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of premixed bio-ceramic MTA versus calcium hydroxide in indirect pulp capping of young permanent molars.

Clinical Trial Description

Researchers are still in search of an ideal material for pulp capping, and they evaluated numerous dental materials. For many decades, calcium hydroxide has been the 'gold standard' material for maintaining pulp vitality. Both clinically and histologically, it has been found to produce satisfactory results in indirect and direct pulp capping because it can stimulate the formation of tertiary dentine by the pulp and it has antimicrobial properties. Due to the drawbacks of calcium hydroxide, several materials have been developed, such as NeoPUTTY which is premixed bio-ceramic Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) that triggers hydroxyapatite. Its firm, non-tacky consistency, wash-out resistance, and bioactivity make it a pediatric dentists' preferred material for every pulp need. It also delivers ready-to-use material for immediate placement with zero waste, saving cost and chair time. ;
