Official Title: Clinical and Radiographical Evaluation of the Effect of Calcium Hydroxide Cement (Dycal) and Calcium Silicate Cement (Biodentine) in Direct Pulp Capping in Primary Teeth: a Randomized Clinical Trial

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study was clinical and radiographical evaluation of the effect of calcium hydroxide cement (Dycal) and calcium silicate cement (Biodentine) in direct pulp capping in primary teeth.

Detailed Summary: The aim of the present study is to compare Calcium Hydroxide cement (Dycal) ® and Calcium Silicate cement (Biodentine)TM as pulp capping agents in primary molars. The objective of this study include the evaluation of clinical and radiographic efficacy of Calcium Hydroxide cement (Dycal) ® and Calcium Silicate cement (Biodentine)TM, and their response in direct pulp capping treatment on primary molars during a 6 months follow up. After following the proper standardized procedure for direct pulp cap. In the current study direct pulp capping was performed using calcium hydroxide cement (Dycal)® and Calcium Silicate cement (Biodentine)TM on 60 primary teeth of children equally divided between 2 study groups randomly of both the sexes aged 4-9 years old. Complete case history was recorded in detail and intraoral periapical radiograph was also taken for teeth indicated for direct pulp capping. Written consent was obtained from the parents of participants before starting the procedure. Strict standardized procedure had been followed and the pulp capping agent (Dycal®/BiodentineTM) were applied according to the manufacturer's instructions.Each patient was evaluated clinically and radiographically for any abnormal clinical signs and symptoms at 1,3 and 6 months postoperatively.Better results for the success of the study could be relatively enhanced by close attention to rigid criteria for case selection, standardization of direct pulp capping procedure and meticulous performance of the procedure appear to be prerequisites for successful treatment.
