Brief Summary: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial to compare two light cured indirect pulp capping agents: an in-vivo study

**Aim:**

This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of factors with regard to the treatment outcome of indirect pulp capping using Biner LC (METABIOMED Co. LTD) and Hydrocal LC (Medicept Co. Ltd) in permanent posterior teeth having Remaining Dentin Thickness (RDT) of less than or equal to 1**.**5 mm.

**Material and method:**

40 teeth with deep carious lesions and RDT of less than or equal to 1**.**5 mm are selected for indirect pulp capping. Patients are randomly divided into Biner LC and Hydrocal LC groups (n=20 in each group). The patients would be followed up at interval of 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months with a routine examination on all recall visits. Periapical radiographs would be taken, lack of patient complaints, positive reactions to electric pulp testing, no sensitivity to percussion, and no widening of the periapical ligament indicated success.

**Statistical Analysis:**

The results would be analysed via One way ANOVA test, Chi square test and Paired t- test .

Data would be collected and statistically analyzed.

**Various prognostic factors would be analyzed in this study for the significance of indirect pulp capping agents.**
