Study Arms (2)
silver diamine fluoride group
EXPERIMENTALpartial caries removal will be carried out then Silver Diamine Fluoride will be applied as indirect pulp capping agent and rubbed for 1 minute followed by Glass ionomer filling
mineral trioxide aggregate group
ACTIVE COMPARATORpartial caries removal will be carried out then mineral trioxide aggregate will be placed as indirect pulp capping agent followed by glass ionomer filling
Interventions
First permanent molars in this group will receive 38% silver diamine fluoride as an indirect pulp capping material.
First permanent molars in this group will receive mineral trioxide aggregate as an indirect pulp capping material.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patient and parent showing cooperation and compliance.
- Children 9-14 years old
- Vital deeply carious young first permanent molar(s) with complete root formation
- Asymptomatic teeth or without clinical symptoms of spontaneous pain
- Both genders will be included.
You may not qualify if:
- Children unable to return for recall visits.
- Any clinical signs of irreversible pulpitis or pulp necrosis (spontaneous pain, pain on percussion, abscess, sinus).
- Any radiographic sign of irreversible pulp pathologies or pulp necrosis (periapical radiolucency, internal or external root resorption)
