Clinical and Radiographic Success of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) vs Septodont Biodentine in Primary Molars in Pulpotomy and Indirect Pulp Cap Treatments
Geisinger Clinic
Summary
The purpose of this prospective study is to compare the clinical and radiographic success of MTA and Biodentine as a medicament in vital pulp therapy in maxillary and mandibular primary molars in a pediatric population. There is limited research currently on Biodentine since it's a novel product. Biodentine is less expensive than MTA and does not cause discoloration like MTA. Biodentine may be an alternative medicament used for vital pulp therapy in primary molars.
Description
This is a interventional randomized split mouth prospective study that evaluates the clinical and radiographic success of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine as pulpotomy and indirect pulp cap (IPC) medicaments. Male and female participants ages two to twelve who need at least two quadrants of treatment will be enrolled in the trial. Participants will be treated at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, and Geisinger Bloomsburg Hospital operating rooms for full mouth rehabilitation. Each participant must have at least two matched bilateral carious primary molars that require either pu…
