Silver Diamine Fluoride After Minimal Caries Removal Technique in Asymptomatic Young Permanent Teeth With Deep Caries
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is comparing between the Silver Diamine Fluoride after minimal caries removal versus glass ionomer in permanent teeth with open apex
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
The study will be carried on young permanent molars with open apices & with deep caries. Incomplete caries removal and application of indirect pulp capping materials where Silver Diamine Fluoride (Group I) will be compared with glass ionomer only (group II). Then final restoration with composite resin for both groups. Children will be followed up for 9 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Postoperative Pain [9 months]
Will be assessed by questioning the patient or the guardian whether there is postoperative pain or not, Binary (yes or no)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Tooth vitality [9 months]
Will be assessed by Vitality test using thermal stimulation, binary (yes or no)
- Abscess [9 months]
Will be assessed intraoral Clinical examination whether there is swelling or not, binary (yes or no)
- Pain on percussion [9 months]
Will be assessed by Percussion test by using the back of the mirror on the tooth, binary (yes or no)
- Root lengthening [9 months]
Will be assessed measuring the root length by mm on the digital radiography (digora software)
