Summary

Aim: To compare the outcome of indirect and direct pulp capping after partial or complete caries removal in deeply carious mature mandibular permanent molars with clinical signs indicative of moderate pulpitis.

Objectives:

1. To evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of indirect pulp capping after partial caries removal in deeply carious mature mandibular permanent molars with clinical signs indicative of moderate pulpitis.
2. To evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of direct pulp capping after complete caries removal in deeply carious mature mandibular permanent molars with clinical signs indicative of moderate pulpitis.
3. To evaluate pain incidence and severity after indirect and direct pulp capping after partial and complete caries removal in deeply carious mature mandibular permanent molars with clinical signs indicative of moderate pulpitis.

Conditions

  • Indirect Pulp Capping
  • Reversible Pulpitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

INDIRECT AND DIRECT PULP CAPPING AFTER PARTIAL OR COMPLETE CARIES REMOVAL IN DEEPLY CARIOUS MATURE PERMANENT MANDIBULAR MOLARS WITH MODERATE PULPITIS

After partial caries removal the cavity is disinfected, dried, and capped with a 2-3mm layer of MTA followed by a light-cured resin layer. The tooth is then definitively restored with composite. Following complete caries removal, any bleeding pulp will be controlled with sodium hypochlorite for up to 5 minutes. Exposed pulp will then be directly capped with a 2-3mm layer of MTA, followed by a light-cured resin layer and definitive composite restoration using an etch-and-rinse technique.
