Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures

- Number of cases reporting sinus [12 months]
Presence of sinus following dental treatment through visual examination using hand mirror as a sign of clinical failure
- Number of cases reporting fistula [12 months]
Presence of fistula following dental treatment through visual examination using hand mirror as a sign of clinical failure
- Number of cases reporting tooth mobility [12 months]
Presence of abnormal tooth mobility following dental treatment through tactile examination using two hand mirrors as a sign of clinical failure
Secondary Outcome Measures

Occurrence of pathological internal root resorption following dental treatment through parallel periapical radiographic examination as a sign of radiographic failure
- Number of cases reporting widening of periodontal membrane space [12 months]
Occurrence of widening of periodontal membrane space following dental treatment through parallel periapical radiographic examination as a sign of radiographic failure
- Number of cases reporting periapical radiolucency [12 months]
Occurrence of periapical radiolucency following dental treatment through parallel periapical radiographic examination as a sign of radiographic failure
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion criteria:
In compliance with AAPD, 2017 guidelines for pulp therapy "IPT is indicated in a primary tooth with no pulpitis or with reversible pulpitis when the deepest carious dentin is not removed to avoid a pulp exposure. The pulp is judged by clinical and radiographic criteria to be vital and able to heal from the carious insult"
In addition to:
I-Subjects:
-
Medically free children, their parent(s) accepts to sign the informed consent.
-
Age range from 4-8 years.
II-Molars:
-
Presence of at least 1 primary molar with deep carious lesion extending to more than one half of the dentin on radiographic examination (to make the trial regardless of number of carious molars).
-
Clinically: Normal mobility and normal appearance of gingiva (vital teeth).
-
Radiographically: Normal roots without physiological resorption, normal lamina dura and normal periodontal membrane space (indicated for IPT).
Exclusion criteria:
I-Subjects:
-
Uncooperative children.
-
Parents unable to attend follow up visits (even after explaining the importance of recall visits).
II-Molars:
-
History of spontaneous pain (to exclude reversible pulpitis).
-
Clinically: Presence of swelling, sinus, fistula or tooth mobility (to exclude non vital teeth).
-
Radiographically: Presence of radiolucent lesions at furcation or periapical region or external or internal resorption (to exclude teeth not indicated for IPT).
