Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Bioceramic Putty MTA Versus MTA in Pulpotomy of Immature Permanent Molars

Launched by CAIRO UNIVERSITY · Jan 22, 2024

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effectiveness of a new type of dental material called bioceramic putty MTA compared to a traditional material known as MTA in a treatment called pulpotomy for young permanent molars. A pulpotomy is a procedure used to treat teeth that have deep cavities but are still growing. The main goal of the study is to see if the new bioceramic material leads to better healing and success rates than the traditional MTA when treating these teeth.

To participate in this trial, children aged 6 to 8 years with specific dental conditions will be eligible. They should have permanent molars that are still developing and have deep cavities that need treatment, but they must not show any signs of serious infection or damage. This means their teeth should not be painful or have swelling, and there should be no concerning findings on dental X-rays. It's important to note that children with other health issues or those who have had previous dental work on the same teeth will not be included. If eligible, participants can expect to receive either the new bioceramic putty or the traditional material during their dental treatment, and their progress will be monitored over time to determine which material works better.
