| Abstract | ||||
| Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and the radiographic outcomes of indirect pulp treatment (IPT) in primary molars using Calcium Hydroxide, Resin Modified Glass Ionomer and TheraCal LC. Subjects and Methods: Sample of 45 children aged from 4-8 years with deep carious one or more primary molars allocated randomly into 3 groups according to the capping material. Group I: Calcium Hydroxide (Dycal). Group II: Resin Modified Glass Ionomer (Vitrebond) and Group III: TheraCal LC. Teeth were treated then restored with EQUIA Forte HT in one visit and evaluated clinically and radiographically after three and six months. Results: The overall clinical and radiographic success rates were (88.2%) for Dycal group, (94.1%) for Vitrebond group and (100%) for TheraCal LC group. Results showed no statistically significant difference between groups in the overall clinical and radiographic success at 3 and 6 months. Conclusions: The indirect pulp treatment may be considered an appropriate procedure when applied on deeply carious primary teeth without irreversible pulpitis to achieve acceptable therapeutic results. | ||||
