Summary

Aim of the study: To evaluate clinical and radiographic success rates of silver diamine fluoride versus mineral trioxide aggregate as indirect pulp capping agents in deeply carious young first permanent molars.

Detailed description

Indirect pulp treatment has become a common maneuver in vital pulp therapy in recent years and is a procedure performed in teeth with deep carious lesions approximating the pulp but without any signs or symptoms of irreversible pulpal changes. Silver Diamine Fluoride is used to arrest caries lesions in primary teeth but according to the AAPD,2021 more research is needed on the use of SDF to arrest caries lesions in permanent teeth.

Conditions

• Deep Caries

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Silver diamine fluoride	First permanent molars in this group will receive 38% silver diamine fluoride as an indirect pulp capping material.
DRUG	Mineral trioxide aggregate	First permanent molars in this group will receive mineral trioxide aggregate as an indirect pulp capping material.
