Bioactive Versus Non-Bioactive Restorative System in Deep Carious Molars

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how different types of dental materials—specifically bioactive and non-bioactive restorative systems—affect the treatment of deep cavities in permanent back teeth (molars). The researchers want to understand which material works better after a method called selective caries removal, which aims to keep as much healthy tooth as possible while removing decay. They will look at how well the restorations hold up over time, how they affect the tooth's health, and the overall success of the treatments.

To participate in this study, individuals aged 18 to 40 who have a specific type of deep cavity in their back teeth may be eligible. Candidates must be able to handle the necessary dental procedures and agree to follow-up appointments. However, those with allergies to dental materials, pregnant women, or individuals with certain dental or medical conditions may not qualify. Participants can expect to receive care for their cavities while contributing to valuable research that could improve future dental treatments.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:
• • young adult patients (age: 18-40 years) of both genders.
• • Able to tolerate necessary restorative procedures.
• • Willing to sign the informed consent.
• • Accepts the follow-up period.
• • Posterior permanent tooth with occlusal proximal deep carious lesion.
• • Radiographically (bitewing radiograph) extending to the inner 1/3 of dentine (D3) with a radiopaque layer between the carious lesion and the pulp chamber.
• • Sensible teeth according to cold pulp test.
• Exclusion criteria:

• • Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances.
• • Pregnant women.
• • Patients with debilitating systemic diseases
