Summary

The purpose of this study is to Assess the effect of MTA and hard setting Calcium Hydroxide (Dycal) on the clinical and radiographic outcome of direct pulp capping in primary molars and evaluate overall success rate of direct pulp capping in primary molars.

Detailed description

After informed consent, baseline clinical and radiographic assessment will be obtained and recorded in patient examination sheet. Participants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to two groups (n = 26/group, N = 52 in total) according to the capping martials using the envelope randomization method. 2 study groups according to capping material that will be used (Dycal or MTA) and each group will be divided to 2 subgroups according to site of exposure axial or pulpal. All patients were recalled and their treated molars were evaluated clinically and radiographically at 3months, 6months, 9months ,12months follow up periods.
