Official Title: 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 Chi
Brief 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.
