NCT03214770

Brief Summary

This is a randomized clinical study. 48 subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of deep carious molars without pulpal lesions were randomized to one of two treatments: Patients treated with Light-cured calcium silicate (Theracal) liner, or treated with light-cured calcium Hydroxide (Biner LC) liner. Both two Treatments are with the step-wise excavation Technique. Treatment will be done at baseline, collecting dentin sample before application of liner material, then patients will be dismissed with Resin-modified Glass Ionomer restoration and recalled after 6 months. Re-entry of tooth required for completing the step-wise excavation technique collecting the second dentin sample after this time interval (6 months) and permanently restore tooth with composite restoration. Dentin samples will be microbiologically analyzed and the results will be statistically calculated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Bacterial Count

    will be done by Digital colony counter, Agar Diffusion Test The measuring unit of the bacterial count is CFU/ml(colony-forming units per milliliter) for liquids). The first dentin sample will be collected in the baseline time and the second dentin sample after 6 month for each group.

    an average of 6 months

Study Arms (2)

Light-cured calcium silicate

EXPERIMENTAL

This biomaterial calcium silicate is manufactured to have an anti-bacterial effect on micro-organisms within the dentin, thus allowing the inhibition of bacterial growth therefore no caries will progress. Material is injected and light-cured within the dentin and sealed with a restoration.

Drug: TheraCal

Light-cured calcium hydroxide

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This biomaterial calcium hydroxide is manufactured to have an anti-bacterial effect on micro-organisms within the dentin, thus allowing the inhibition of bacterial growth therefore no caries will progress. Material is injected and light-cured within the dentin and sealed with a restoration.

Drug: light-cured calcium hydroxide

Interventions

Biomaterial used for carious lesions reaching to dentin. Material is applied and after 6 month dentin sample collection and the bacterial count by digital colony counter, Agar diffusion test.

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Normal adults will be recruited in this study, all the volunteers participated in this experiment will be healthy looking with free medical history.
  • Subjects aged between 18-40 years.
  • In each patient required one or two deep carious tooth occlusally either upper or lower permanent molars.
  • All volunteers must be with good oral hygiene in order to restore with composite restorations.
  • Subjects were required to be available for the duration of the study, and to sign an informed consent form

You may not qualify if:

  • Subjects with a history of allergy to any of the drugs or chemicals used in the study.
  • Subjects with carious anterior tooth are not within the study.
  • History of pulp pathology of the teeth which indicates root canal treatment is not included in the study.
  • Pregnancy and Lactating mothers.
  • Patients with any systematic problems or mental or physical disability.
