Summary

Dental caries is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide. Interventions for treating deep carious lesions in teeth with no history of pain or teeth with reversible pulpitis are referred to as vital pulp therapy; these include indirect pulp treatment (IPC), direct pulp capping (DPC), and pulpotomy. Pulpotomy is considered invasive when treating exposed primary vital pulps due to caries. Less invasive vital pulp treatment methods such as DPC might, therefore, be preferable, as they reduce chair time, less tooth structure removal and a crown might not always be a necessary permanent restoration. The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of DPC when compared to pulpotomy in primary molars with carious pulp exposure.

Conditions

  • Vital Pulp Therapies

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Pulpotomy

The entire coronal pulp will be amputated to the level of canal orifices, after hemostasis, NeoMTA will be placed, then tooth will be restored with glass ionomer cement, and the tooth will be subsequently restored with a crown.

PROCEDURE

Direct pulp capping (DPC)

At the exposure site hemostasis will be achieved, neo MTA will be placed, then tooth will be restored with glass ionomer cement, and the tooth will be subsequently restored with a crown.
