Overview
Brief Summary
A randomized clinical trial that aims to evaluate clinical and radiographic success rates of indirect pulp capping and direct pulp capping in primary molars with reversible pulpitis using a light-cured tri-calcium silicate base material (TheraCal (LC)).
Detailed Description
Participating primary molars will be randomly allocated to one of the following groups: Indirect pulp capping group or Direct pulp capping group. A light-cured tri-calcium silicate base material (TheraCal (LC) ) will be used in the two groups as a dressing material. Patients will be recruited from the outpatient clinic of the pediatric dentistry department, Faculty of Dentistry Ain Shams University. The participant will be recalled for follow-up assessments at 3, 6,9, and 12 months.

Arms & Interventions
Indirect Pulp Capping
TheraCal (LC) will be applied to affected dentin after excavation of infected dentin
Intervention: Light cured tri-calcium silicate base material
Direct Pulp Capping
TheraCal (LC) will be applied to pinpoint pulp exposures (less than 1mm ) in vital pulps surrounded by sound dentin.
Intervention: Light cured tri-calcium silicate base material
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
recording signs and symptoms through clinical examination
Time Frame: one year follow-up
All the primary molars participating in this study will be examined clinically under the illumination of dental unit, percussion and palpation test will be performed to ensure absence of any sign and symptoms of irreversible pulpitis or nectrotic pulp during follow -up period.
Secondary Outcomes
- recording pathological Changes in Radiographic examination(one year follow-up)
- Evaluation of TheraCal (LC) as a pulp capping material(one year follow-up)
