Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 7-12 years old children having deep caries in one or more mandibular molars. Both males and females are included in the study. Other criterion for inclusion of study sample is as follows: History: Tolerable dull, mild discomfort associated with eating. Negative history of spontaneous extreme pain. Clinical examination: Large carious lesion Normal appearance of adjacent gingiva Normal color of tooth Radiographic examination: Large carious lesion with more than two-third thickness in dentin Normal lamina dura Normal periodontal ligament space No radiolucency in the bone about the apices of the roots in the furcation. Positive informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: History: Sharp, penetrating pulpagia indicating acute pulpal inflammation and necrosis. Prolonged spontaneous pain particularly at night. Clinical examination: Mobility of teeth Discoloration of tooth Negative reaction of electric pulp testing Parulis in the gingiva approximating the roots of the tooth Radiographic examination: Large carious lesion producing definite pulp exposure Interrupted / broken lamina dura Widened periodontal ligament space Periapical radiolucency Negative informed consent

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome of this study is to determine the most suitable material for indirect pulp treatment using CBCT. The criterion for the success of the treatment was taken from American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (APPD) Criteria.Timepoint: 8 weeks,6 months, one year

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary outcomes of this study are to determine the 1. Type of tissue in terms of radio density (in HU) formed after pulp capping 2. Thickness of tissue (in mm) formed after pulp capping Timepoint: 6 months
