Using Your Own blood to Heal Tooth Damage due to decay: A Study on Treatment for Cavities in Adults
- Conditions
- Dental caries on pit and fissure surface,
- Registration Number
- CTRI/2025/05/086122
- Lead Sponsor
- Dr Nishanthine C
- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to assess pulp sensibility and dentine bridge formation using CBCT imaging following direct pulp capping with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), PRF combined with Biodentine, and Biodentine in permanent mandibular molars with carious pulp exposure.
Objective: The objective is to assess the effectiveness of an autologous platelet concentrate for direct pulp capping by evaluating the clinical symptomology, pulp sensibility and radiographic three- dimensional dentin bridge formation after one year.
Methodology: This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial. The efficacy of Biodentine, PRF, and PRF with Biodentine will be compared as direct pulp capping agents. The study will involve 30 participants, with 10 in each group, based on a sample size calculation using G Power software.
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria: Participants aged 18-45 with asymptomatic molars or premolars and carious pulp exposure that meet specific clinical and radiographic criteria will be included. Exclusion criteria encompass symptomatic teeth, systemic diseases, and any factors that may affect healing. Data will be collected through clinical assessments (response to pulp sensibility tests, periodontal evaluations), radiographic analysis, and patient-reported outcomes.
Results: CBCT will be used to analyze the volume of dentine bridges formed by Biodentine, PRF, and PRF with Biodentine as direct pulp capping agents. Responses to pulp sensibility testing will be assessed before the treatment and after the treatment at intervals of 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

Study & Design
- Study Type
- Interventional
- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Teeth treated are expected to demonstrate three dimensional dentin bridge formation, which is an indicator of pulp preservation and pulp regeneration CBCT analysis will be done before treatment and after 1 year of intervention
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method teeth treated are expected to respond normally to pulp sensibility testing and should demonstrate normal periapical tissues in radiographic assessment pulp sensibility and radiographic assessment will be done preoperatively and 3,6,9,12 months after intervention
