Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Evidence of effectiveness of Dycal and Biodentine as Direct Pulp Capping agent in primary molars confirmed by clinical and radiographical evaluation.

    Clinical Criteria: No spontaneous pain,Defective restoration/Recurrent caries,Sinus formation,TOP,Soft tissue swelling \& Mobility. Radiographic criteria: No Defective restoration/Recurrent caries,Periapical or furcal radiolucency,Pathological internal resorption,Replacement resorption,Intracanal calcification \& Physiological resorption.

    6 months

Study Arms (2)

Dycal

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Intervention: drug: Dycal, Other names: Calcium Hydroxide. Intervention Description:DPC using Dycal for direct pulp exposure was performed in 30 primary molar teeth after proper case selection.Clinical and radiographic evaluation was done.One month post operative criteria evaluated were-Clinical criteria:Spontaneous pain,Defective restoration/Recurrent caries,Sinus formation,TOP,Soft tissue swelling \& Mobility. Radiographic criteria:Defective restoration/Recurrent caries,Periapical or furcal radiolucency,Pathological internal resorption,Replacement resorption,Intracanal calcification \& Physiological resorption.The follow-up was at 3 and 6 months.

Procedure: Direct Pulp Capping using Dycal and Biodentine

Biodentine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Intervention: drug: Biodentine, Other names: Calcium Silicate. Intervention Description:DPC using Biodentine for direct pulp exposure was performed in 30 primary molar teeth after proper case selection.Clinical and radiographic evaluation was done.One month post operative criteria were-Clinical criteria:Spontaneous pain,Defective restoration/Recurrent caries,Sinus formation,TOP,Soft tissue swelling \& Mobility.Radiographic criteria:Defective restoration/Recurrent caries, Periapical or furcal radiolucency,Pathological internal resorption,Replacement resorption,Intracanal calcification \& Physiological resorption.The follow-up was at 3 and 6 months.

Procedure: Direct Pulp Capping using Dycal and Biodentine

Interventions

The operative procedure performed as follows: i)Administration of L.A and rubber dam isolation. ii)High-speed carious enamel removal. iii)Dentine mechanical curettage. iv)Manual final dentine curettage using a spoon excavator. v)Hemorrhage control by cotton pellet moistened with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite placed over the exposure for 1-2min. vi)The exposure site would then be dried with sterile cotton pellet.The operator shall apply the pulp capping agent(dycal/Biodentine)according to the manufacturer's instructions.And then another cover of glass ionomer is applied.This would be followed by permanent restoration.

Eligibility Criteria

Age4 Years - 9 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Good health.
  • Cooperative behaviour.
  • Informed consent from parents.
  • Primary molars with clinically active caries.
  • No history of spontaneous pain in teeth.
  • Restorable tooth with at least one half of root length present.
  • Absence of pathological mobility.
  • Absence of tenderness to percussion.
  • Normal gingiva and periodontal condition without the sign of pathology such as redness and swelling of vestibule, draining sinus tract or sensitivity to palpate in the vestibule.
  • In addition, the teeth treated by direct pulp capping had only a pin point mechanical exposure (0.5 to 1mm), for which haemorrhage control could be achieved within two minutes before proceeding with direct pulp capping.
  • Radiographically, there was absence of internal resorption, external resorption, periapical or furcation radiolucencies and pathology of succedenous permanent tooth follicle.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with a history of spontaneous pain, tooth tender to percussion, absence of underlying permanent teeth, internal/external root resorption, apical/furcal lesions, sinus tract, physiologic or pathologic luxation, and/or presence of abscess were excluded from the study.
