Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Indirect Pulp Capping in Primary and Permanent Teeth With Different Materials

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2015-06-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Indirect pulp capping (IPC) is a treatment that preserves pulp's vitality. Several materials have been used for this procedure. The aim of this study is to evaluate the radiographic and clinical outcomes of TheraCal LC (Bisco Inc., Schaumburg, IL, USA) and to compare it with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) (Pro Root MTA, Dentsply Tulsa, Johnson City, TN, USA) and calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] (Dycal, Dentsply De Trey Konstanz, Germany) biomaterials in IPC treatment.
