Pulp Capping in Primary Molars Using TheraCal (LC)

Radiographic and Clinical Evaluation of Indirect and Direct Pulp Capping in Primary Molars Using TheraCal (LC)

A randomized clinical trial that aims to evaluate clinical and radiographic success rates of indirect pulp capping and direct pulp capping in primary molars with reversible pulpitis using a light-cured tri-calcium silicate base material (TheraCal (LC)).

Participating primary molars will be randomly allocated to one of the following groups: Indirect pulp capping group or Direct pulp capping group. A light-cured tri-calcium silicate base material (TheraCal (LC) ) will be used in the two groups as a dressing material. Patients will be recruited from the outpatient clinic of the pediatric dentistry department, Faculty of Dentistry Ain Shams University. The participant will be recalled for follow-up assessments at 3, 6,9, and 12 months.
