Brief summary

Study Title: - Effect of age on the success of direct pulp capping using bio-ceramic materials in cariously exposed teeth with reversible pulpitis: A Prospective clinical study. Rationale: - Preservation of pulp vitality is a critical factor in long-term tooth survival. In deep carious lesion with reversible pulpitis, vital pulp therapy procedures in the form of direct pulp capping(DPC)is more conservative treatment strategy, based on the premise that a biologically active material placed in direct contact with the pulp wound can determine the pulpal response and result in the development of a reparative hard tissue bridge to preserve pulp vitality. Patient's age may have a role in the survival rate after direct pulp capping and the role of the pulp capping material has been recognized as an important parameter for the success of treatment. Research Question : Does age has any influence on the success of DPC procedure and is there any difference between MTA and Biodentine as DPC material in cariously exposed permanent teeth with reversible pulpitis? Aim & Objectives- To evaluate the effect of age on success of Direct Pulp Capping, to evaluate the success of MTA and Biodentine as direct pulp capping agents.

Aim & Objectives- To evaluate the effect of age on success of Direct Pulp Capping, to evaluate the success of MTA and Biodentine as direct pulp capping agents based on clinical and radiographic findings and assessment of post operative pain for 7 days post treatment. Statistical method: - Data analysis by suitable statistical method.

Masking description

The patients and the outcome assessors will be blinded to the allocation groups (double-blinding). But the operator (Principal investigator) will not be blinded due to the nature of the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
clinical and radiographic success rates and evaluation of the effect of age on the success of procedure.Baseline to 18 monthsCLINICAL SUCCESS CRITERIA * Absence of sign and symptoms of pain on stimulus or spontaneous pain. * Absence of tenderness to palpation or percussion and presence of functional tooth. * Absence of any soft tissue swelling sinus or fistula. * Normal tooth mobility and no periodontal probing depth. * Positive response to pulp sensibility test (cold and EPT). RADIOGRAPHIC SUCCESS CRITERIA * Periapical Index (PAI) score ≤2. * Absence of external or internal root resorption. Also, to evaluate the effect of age on the success of procedure.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Post operative pain Secondary outcome measure will be pain intensity after treatment. Secondary outcome measure will be pain intensity after treatment. Secondary outcome measure will be pain intensity after treatment.Base line to 7 daysTo assess incidence and intensity of pain postoperatively at every 24 hours till 7 days using Visual analogue Scale of 0 to 100 millimeter line. Score 0 means no pain and Score 100 means maximum pain To assess incidence and intensity of pain postoperatively at every 24 hours till 7 days using Visual analogue Scale of 0 to 100 millimeter line. Score 0 means no pain and Score 100 means maximum pain
