Mineral trioxide aggregate has been previously FDA approved as an endodontic filler. Its use in vital teeth has demonstrated significant color change post-treatment leaving it ineffective for esthetic use..
The new formulation will be tested to see if has the same effect.
This randomized control, split-mouth trial will use 50 pediatric subjects selected from the patient population in the pediatric dental clinics at Baylor College of Dentistry and in select faculty private practices. The study will use a within-subject control design whereby one tooth will be treated with a pulpotomy using the new formulation of MTA (NeoMTA Plus, Avalon Biomed Inc., Bradenton, FL, USA) and restored with a multi-surface composite, and the other tooth with an MTA pulpotomy and restored with a SSC; thus, approximately 50 teeth will be treated for each treatment group. The restoration type will be randomized as to which side will receive the SSC or composite using sealed, opaque envelopes. Approximately 50 subjects will be needed for the study in order to elicit any significant findings as demonstrated by a power analysis from a similar study.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| NeoMTA | Experimental | The new formulation of MTA (does not contain bismuth oxide) will be used in one tooth receiving a pulpotomy to determine if the color of the tooth changes over time. The new formulation has received the Food and Drug Administrations 510(k) substantial equivalence clearance for Class II dental materials and is equivalent to its MTA predicate (ProRoot, Dentsply Tulsa Dental, Tulsa, OK, USA).19 |
|
| ProRoot MTA | Other | Control group. This group will receive the old formulation of MTA in the pulpotomy and the tooth will receive a full coverage stainless steel crown restoration. |
