Indirect Pulp Capping With Biodentine and TheraCal LC in Permanent Mature Molars
Randomized Blind Clinical Trial, Two-armed, Parallel of Indirect Pulp Capping With Biodentine and TheraCal LC in Permanent Mature Molars With Deep Carious Lesions
Management of deep carious lesions in permanent mature molars with reversible pulpitis represents a challenge for clinicians. Vital pulp therapy includes indirect and direct pulp capping, partial pulpotomy and full pulpotomy. Indirect pulp capping is a procedure in which a material is placed on a thin layer of remaining soft dentin that, if removed, might expose the pulp. The objective is dentin bridge formation and pulp vitality preservation.
The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the success rate of indirect pulp capping with Biodentine and TheraCal LC in mature permanent molars with deep carious lesions at one-year follow-up examination. The null hypothesis tested will be that there is no statistically significant difference in success rate between both materials in indirect pulp capping of permanent mature molars with deep carious lesions.

Detailed Description
Treatment options for permanent mature molars with deep carious lesions and a preoperative diagnosis of reversible pulpitis are varied among clinicians. In the last few years, a more biological approach is arising interest in the field of Endodontics through the development of calcium-silicate based cements that are used in vital pulp therapy.
A great variety of materials have been employed for indirect pulp capping. Although calcium hydroxide has been the "gold standard" for decades for this procedure, nowadays calcium-silicate based cements such as Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) are preferred. The second generation of these cements, among which Biodentine (Septodont, Saint Maur-des-Fossés, France) and TheraCal LC (Bisco, Schaumburg, IL, USA) stand out, try to overcome the first generation limitations.
On the other hand, there is a paradigm shift in caries removal techniques. Nowadays, the non-selective technique is not longer recommended and a selective removal technique until soft dentin is preferred in deep cavitated lesions.
The study will be carried out at the dental clinic of the Master of Restorative Dentistry and Endodontics (Medical and Dental School) of University of Valencia (Spain).
The study protocol that will be followed is:
- Sample size estimation: 212 participants (106 per group).
- Informed written consent will be obtained from all participants.
- A full dental and medical history will be obtained from all patients.
- Clinical (thermal and electric pulp tests, and palpation and percussion) and a radiographic examination (periapical radiograph and a small-volume cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
- Anesthesia administration and rubber dam placement.
- Selective caries removal technique with high-speed diamond burs with air/water spray for enamel and Cariosolv gel and hand instruments until soft dentin.
- Allocation to one of the two groups: Biodentine (control) or TheraCal LC (experimental) for indirect pulp capping procedures.
- Final direct composite restoration using the selective etching technique and an universal adhesive.
- Baseline periapical radiograph.
- Follow-up: clinical and radiographic follow-up examinations will be conducted at one month, six months and twelve months (±2 weeks). In the one-year follow-up examination, a small-volume CBCT will be taken.
