Summary

Aim: To evaluate whether glass ionomer interim therapeutic restoration (ITR) in asymptomatic teeth with deep cavities can help in determining the pulp status. Methodology: 146 mandibular molars with deep carious lesion having positive response to pulp sensitivity were randomly allocated to two study groups (75-ITR, 71- NON-ITR group). In the first group after partial caries removal(PCR), interim therapeutic restoration of glass ionomer cement (GIC) Ketac molar was placed for one month before definitive adhesive restoration. In NON-ITR group, cavity preparation was similar to ITR group, but definitive restoration was done in the same visit. Two examiners evaluated the clinical and radiographic outcomes for 18 months. Success was defined as absence of signs and symptoms of irreversible pulpitis and absence of periapical alterations.
