Dia-Root Bio MTA vs MTA Plus forIndirect Pulp Capping in Young Permanent Molars

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In a split-mouth design, children aged 6 to 9 with bilateral deeply carious first permanent molars receive indirect pulp caps with either Dia-Root Bio MTA or MTA Plus. Each child contributes one treated molar to each group, with glass ionomer base and composite restorations. Outcomes include clinical signs like pain, tenderness, and swelling, plus radiographic measures such as dentin bridge formation and radiodensity at 3, 6, and 9 months. Postoperative pain is recorded in the first 48 hours using a 4-point scale. The study is conducted at the dental faculty of Tanta University and aims to determine comparative effectiveness and safety of the two materials in pediatric patients.
