About this study
Official title: Indirect Pulp Capping Versus Pulpotomy With MTA for Treatment of Primary Molars With Deep Caries: An Equivalent Parallel Randomized Controlled Trial
The aim of the current randomized controlled trial is to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes of indirect pulp capping and pulpotomy with MTA in treatment of primary teeth with deep caries over a 12-month follow-up period.
Read the detailed description
Output patients coming to Pediatric dentistry department Minia University, selected randomly to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes of indirect pulp capping and pulpotomy with MTA in treatment of primary teeth with deep caries over a 12-month follow-up period an equivalent parallel randomized controlled trial
- Conditions
- Indirect Pulp Capping, Pulpotomy
- Being tested
- MTA
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
MTACombination product
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is composed of Portland cement, with 4:1 addition of bismuth oxide added so that the material can be detected on a radiograph. The cement is made up of calcium, silicon and aluminium. The main constituent phases are tricalcium and dicalcium silicate and tricalcium aluminate.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Active comparator | Indirect pulp capping with MTA Receives: Combination Product: MTA |
| Group 2 | Active comparator | Pulpotomy with MTA Receives: Combination Product: MTA |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Clinical and radiographic evaluation
The children will be recalled for postoperative clinical and radiographic assessment at the following intervals: 3, 6, 12 months the treatment will be considered successful if none of the following clinical or radiographic findings is present:
Clinical criteria:
- pain
- tenderness to palpation or percussion
- gingival swelling or sinus tract
- purulent exudate expressed from the gingival margin
- abnormal tooth mobility
Radiographic criteria:
- periapical radiolucency
- widening in peridontal ligament space
Measured: 2 years follow up

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Clinical and radiographic evaluation (time frame: 2 years follow up). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
