Influence of Proximal Caries on Outcome of Direct Pulp Capping in Permanent Mandibular Molars With Reversible Pulpitis

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Reversible Pulpitis, Extremely Deep Caries

In brief

The aim of the study is to assess the Influence of proximal caries on outcome of direct pulp capping in permanent mandibular molars with sign of reversible pulpitis. objective- Primary objective- To evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic outcome of Direct pulp capping in mandibular molars with occlusal and proximal carious lesions. Secondary objective- To evaluate and compare 1.OHRQoL after Direct pulp capping in occlusal and proximal lesion. 2. Postoperative pain, after Direct pulp capping in occlusal and proximal lesion Subjects of age group 15 - 40 yrs will be included and divided into two groups 1) Permanent mature molars with proximal carious lesion 2)Permanent mature molars with occlusal carious lesion.

Who can join

Age: 15 and older, up to 40. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Mature permanent mandibular molars with extremely deep caries that penetrate the entire thickness of dentine as detected on radiograph with reversible pulpitis will be included.
• Participant with Reversible pulpitis will be diagnosed clinically based on discomfort experienced by the participant when a stimulus such as cold or sweet is applied and goes away within a couple of seconds following the removal of the stimulus, with no significant radiographic changes in the periapical region of the suspect tooth and the pain experienced is not spontaneous.
• The pulpal sensibility will be confirmed through positive response to electric and cold tests (Endo frost) and the presence of bleeding after caries excavation. 4.Pulpal and the periapical diagnosis will be established based on the diagnostic terminology approved by American Association of Endodontists (AAE, 2019).
• Teeth with a negative response to palpation and percussion testing and radiographic finding of periapical index (PAI) score ≤2 and healthy periodontium (probing pocket depth ≤3 mm and mobility within normal limit) will be included. 6.Teeth in which hemostasis achieved within 5 mins will be included.
• Only pulp exposures with size 0.5-1 mm will be included

You may not qualify if…

• Mechanical or pulp exposure due to trauma
• absence of exposure after excavation of caries
• failure to achieve hemostasis within 5 mins
• irreversible pulpitis and teeth having periapical lesions
• periodontal disease, resorptive defects, calcified canals, as assessed by radiographic examination will serve as criteria for exclusion.
• Also immunocompromised, Pregnant and subjects having systemic diseases will be excluded -
