Brief Summary

The present study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of premixed bio-ceramic MTA versus calcium hydroxide in indirect pulp capping of young permanent molars.

Detailed Description

Researchers are still in search of an ideal material for pulp capping, and they evaluated numerous dental materials. For many decades, calcium hydroxide has been the 'gold standard' material for maintaining pulp vitality. Both clinically and histologically, it has been found to produce satisfactory results in indirect and direct pulp capping because it can stimulate the formation of tertiary dentine by the pulp and it has antimicrobial properties.

Due to the drawbacks of calcium hydroxide, several materials have been developed, such as NeoPUTTY which is premixed bio-ceramic Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) that triggers hydroxyapatite. Its firm, non-tacky consistency, wash-out resistance, and bioactivity make it a pediatric dentists' preferred material for every pulp need. It also delivers ready-to-use material for immediate placement with zero waste, saving cost and chair time.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Immediate Postoperative painone week

post operative pain by Verbal analogue scale.It is a 10 cm long horizontal line with points labeled from 0 to 10 where (0) indicates no pain, (1-3) mild pain, (4-6) moderate pain, and (7-10) severe pain.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The thickness of newly formed dentin3,6,9,12 month

The thickness of newly formed dentin will be assessed in Mm through Digora software

Soft tissue pathology3,6,9,12 month

Swelling, sinus tract, fistula, mobility and pain on percussion will be assessed by clinical examination either present or not (binary)

Radiographic changes3,6,9,12 month

Radiolucency at the periapical or furcation area and Internal or external root resorption will be assessed through a digital periapical intraoral radiograph either present or not ( Binary)
