Summary

The purpose of this RCT is to compare the clinical/radiographic outcomes of Potassium nitrate in polycarboxylate cement and MTA as pulpotomy biomaterials used for asymptomatic vital immature permanent lower first molar and this will help to clinically evaluate the use of alternative capping material in vital pulpotomy in young permanent teeth with pathologic pulpal injuries emphasis is set on avoiding total pupectomy and maintaining radicular pulp vitality and function and therefore maintain the tooth in a viable condition that help root completion.

Conditions

  • Pulpotomy of Immature Lower First Molar(Apexegenesis)

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Potassium Nitrate in Polycarboxylate cement

The application of polycarboxylate cement containing 5% KNO3 for direct capping of traumatically exposed pulp in animal models did not result in any degenerative changes in dental pulp, thought creating optimal conditions for preservation of pulp vitality and root completion. Polycarboxylate cement has very thin film thickness and bonds firmly to the tooth structure, is capable of withstanding the overlying pressure during restoration procedures. The good adhesive properties of polycarboxylate cement containing 5% KNO3 guaranteed the closure of cavity, good and lasting protection of traumatically exposed dental pulp and the formation of alkaline environment possessing a strong antiacidic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect of this pulp capping material, creating optimal conditions for expression of its natural reparative potential. The increased release of potassium nitrate from polycarboxylate cement by time, might be the cause of decreasing the inflammatory intensity
