CLINICAL AND RADIOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF INDIRECT PULP TREATMENT WITH MTA IN PRIMARY SECOND MOLARS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes of indirect pulp capping in primary second molars over a period of 3 months. Subjects and methods: A clinical trial with sample size of 45 patients between the age group of 5-9 years old, with 56 primary second molars with deep carious lesions without signs and symptoms of irreversible pulpitis. Indirect pulp capping was applied using MTA. Clinical and radiographic findings were evaluated after 3 months. Result: After 3 months follow up, the rate of teeth with pain upon percussion, gum swelling/abscess, pathologic mobility,loss/ broken of restoration was 1,8%, respectively. On radiographic evaluation, the radiological pathologycan be observed at the respective rate of 1,8%. The success rate of indirect pulp cappingusing MTA was 96,4%. Conclusions: The result support the idea that the success of Indirect Pulp capping (IPC) for primary teeth with deep caries. MTA is a good IPC medicament in primary teeth.
