Direct Pulp Capping
Conditions
Keywords
platelet Rich fibrin , MTA
Brief summary
eligible carious teeth with exposed pulp by the undergraduate students will be randomly divided into two groups to be treated with direct pulp capping (A), where (A1) represents the comparator group where teeth will be treated with direct application of MTA over the exposed pulp, (A2) represents teeth to be treated with the application of PRF directly over exposed pulp followed by MTA application. clinical and radiographic assessment of tooth vitality, history of pain, pain on percussion, and dentin bridge formation will be performed at baseline, 6 months, and 1 year
Interventions
OTHERdirect pulp capping
teeth with exposed pulp during caries removal will be capped either with PRF followed by mta or mta alone directly on exposed pulp, in both groups restoration will be placed over mta

Inclusion criteria
* Patient aged 15:40 years old. * Patients exhibiting pulp exposure (carious, traumatic, or mechanical) during management of active carious lesions with less than 2 mm of carious exposure. * Signs and symptoms indicative of pulp vitality, i.e. a positive response to thermal stimulation during a cold test. * periapical radiograph showing closed apex and normal periapex
Exclusion criteria
