ABSTRACT

Aim: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Biodentine and Mineral trioxide aggregate as pulp capping materials for indirect pulp capping in carious permanent teeth. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four molars of twenty-four patients with deep caries lesions, diagnosed with reversible pulpitis were subjected to indirect pulp capping treatment. They were randomly divided into two groups, Biodentine group (12 teeth) or MTA group (12 teeth). Lot randomization of two was employed to allocate the treatment materials. Patients were recalled at one, three and six months to evaluate the clinical success of the treatment outcome. Results: In statistical trial/study, the pulp capping materials gave different success rate, 100% success in the Biodentine group and 91.67% success in MTA group. Conclusion: In our study in the materials tested at 1 month, 3 month and 6-month follow-up, - Biodentine is better than MTA. Clinical Significance: The findings of this study could promote the reliable pulp capping material for treatment of deep carious lesions by conservative approach rather than opting endodontic management. Keywords: Indirect pulp capping, MTA, Biodentine
