Filter by:Direct pulp capping technique is one of the oldest known treatments for exposed pulp tissue, and there is a continuous requirement for the most efficient materials to be used in this approach. Successful pulp capping is the usual way to preserve the vitality of tooth and avoid root canal treatment or surgical tooth extraction.
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of pulpotomy in cariously exposed vital immature first permanent molars using calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate-based material (Biodentine ™). After a 12 months postoperative period, Biodentine ™ proved very useful as a successful pulpotomy agent in young permanent teeth.
Removal of infected dentin contaminated with bacteria and remaining affected dentin detected as firm is the conventional strategy for the management of cavitated caries lesions. Recently, this strategy is termed as selective removal to firm dentin (SRFD) and seems to increase the potential risk of pulp exposure or loss of pulp vitality for deep caries lesions radiographically extending ¾ of dentin tissue. Alternatively, selective removal to soft dentine (SRSD) that refers to removal of caries tissue at the periphery of the cavity to firm dentin and remaining caries tissue detected as soft or leathery in proximity with the pulp might be a less invasive excavation method for deep caries lesions to maintain pulpal health. However, information on clinical advantages or disadvantages of SRSD and SRFD excavation methods is sparse and mostly rely on studies conducted for primary teeth. Moreover, clinical trials are needed to demonstrate the combined effect of carious removal strategies and calcium silicate-based materials. The aim of this study is comparison of clinical success rates of SRSD and SRFD techniques in posterior deep caries lesions. The primary outcome of the study is comparison of clinical success of SRSD and SRFD techniques by clinical and radiographic examination after 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years. The secondary outcome of the study is to investigate whether or not calcium silicate-based materials have an effect on the success rate of the treatment.
Aim of the study: To compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine as vital pulp therapy materials (pulpotomy) preserving the vitality of traumatized immature anterior permanent teeth. Materials and Methods: fifty vital traumatized immature anterior permanent teeth exposed with symptomatic /asymptomatic pulpitis were included in the study according to inclusion criteria and were equally divided in two groups. Included teeth were randomly assigned to either a control group (MTA 25 teeth) or a test group (Biodentine 25 teeth). After conducting pulpotomy and covering pulp stumps with the MTA and Biodentine, treated teeth received permanent restorations. Blinded clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed at different time intervals (base line immediate postoperative, 6, 12 and 18 months) according to clinical and radiographic criteria of success. Data were recorded and analyzed.
This Trial evaluated the extent of pulp survival following pulpotomy in the permanent tooth pulp exposed by caries and identify potential risk factors for pulpal complications.
