Abstract |
: |
Carious pulp exposure in permanent molars of children is a common incident. Mineral trioxide
aggregate is a new material that possesses numerous exciting possibilities for pulp therapy.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of MTA as a direct pulp capping
agent in young permanent .teeth. Methods: Thirty asymptomatic permanent molars with pulp
exposure were treated by pulp capping using MTA. At each recall (6, 12, 18 and 24 months), the
teeth were assessed clinically, through pulpal sensitivity tests, as well as radiographically to
evaluate periapical healing. Results: Non of the cases reported spontaneous pain at the 6 months
follow up and the pulp showed signs of vitality and absence of periapical radiolucency. At 24
months, the clinical and radiographic success rate was 93% with evidence of continued root growth.
Conclusion: Pulp capping with MTA is recommended for teeth with carious pulp exposure
especially immature teeth that possess high potential for healing. |
