Indirect Pulp Capping, Pulpotomy
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of the current randomized controlled trial is to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes of indirect pulp capping and pulpotomy with MTA in treatment of primary teeth with deep caries over a 12-month follow-up period.
Detailed description
Output patients coming to Pediatric dentistry department Minia University, selected randomly to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes of indirect pulp capping and pulpotomy with MTA in treatment of primary teeth with deep caries over a 12-month follow-up period an equivalent parallel randomized controlled trial
Interventions
COMBINATION_PRODUCTMTA
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is composed of Portland cement, with 4:1 addition of bismuth oxide added so that the material can be detected on a radiograph.
