Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • image findings

    To observe thickness of reparative dentin. Image data are processed by XCP technology, scanned and transferred to a computer for digital analysis, preoperative reference value is used as the basis.

    at month 12 after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • degree of root resorption

    at month 12 after surgery

Study Arms (3)

indirect pulp capping group

EXPERIMENTAL

Sixty children with deep caries of deciduous teeth underwent indirect pulp capping, and they were selected and randomized into four groups according to pulp capping agents: MTA group, calcium hydroxide group, Biodentine group and TheraCal group.

Procedure: indirect pulp capping

direct pulp capping group

EXPERIMENTAL

Sixty children with deep caries of deciduous teeth underwent direct pulp capping, and they were selected and randomized into four groups according to pulp capping agents: MTA group, calcium hydroxide group, Biodentine group and TheraCal group.

Procedure: direct pulp capping

vital pulpotomy group

EXPERIMENTAL

Forty-five children with deep caries of deciduous teeth underwent vital pulpotomy, and they were selected and randomized into four groups according to pulp capping agents: MTA group, calcium hydroxide group, Biodentine group and TheraCal group.

Procedure: vital pulpotomy
