Summary

The management of deep carious lesions approaching a healthy pulp is considered a challenge to the dental practitioner. The conventional treatment of deep carious lesions requires the removal of all infected and affected dentin to avoid more cariogenic activity.

Detailed description

This study is designed to assess the clinical and radiographic effectivness of nano silver fluoride versus calcium hydroxide in an indirect pulp treatment of deep carious second primary molars. This clinical study is important because World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that school children experience to dental caries was 60-90% of worldwide (P. D. Garkoti et al., 2015). This clinical trial has potential benefits to patients where indirect pulp treatment preserves pulp vitality by partial caries removal without exposing pulp. Several materials have been used for indirect pulp technique including calcium hydroxide (Metalita M et al., 2016).

Conditions

• Deep Caries

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Nano Silver Fluoride	Nano silver fluoride (NSF) is a new material consisting of nano silver particles, chitosan and sodium fluoride. It is a bacteriostatic and bactericidal compound.
DRUG	Calcium hydroxide	Calcium hydroxide is a gold standard for indirect pulp capping which induces hard tissue.
