Controlled Clinical Trial of the Effect of Calcium Hydroxide, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine (Trademark) as Direct Pulp Capping Materials of Permanent Teeth Affected by Caries, in Children From 7 to 16 Years
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Mineral trioxide aggregate, Calcium hydroxide, and 1 other intervention for Caries and Dental Pulp Exposure. Completed, enrolled 169 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Background: Dental caries is considered an oral health problem worldwide. In Chile the last national epidemiological study (2007) showed a national prevalence of dental caries in children 6 years (70.3%) and 12 (62.5%). Direct pulp capping is a preventive dental therapy, keeps the vitality of the tooth using some inductive materials mineralized tissue formation. Objective: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two innovative direct pulp capping materials; Biodentine compared MTA and calcium hydroxide in the maintenance of pulp vitality in teeth permanent molars.
