Aim: The present case-control study was planned to assess the comparative efficacy of resin-modified calcium silicate, resin-modified glass ionomer, and Dycal as pulp capping agents in indirect pulp therapy for deeply carious young permanent molars.
Materials And Methods: Thirty deeply carious young posterior teeth were treated by indirect pulp therapy. During the treatment, the cavity floor was lined with TheraCal or resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) in the study group and with Dycal (control group) followed by GC IX and composite restoration.

Unlabelled: Having just one root canal in a primary mandibular first molar is an extremely unusual congenital defect. One possible cause of this odd root shape is the invagination of Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) failing. A pediatric dentist may successfully provide root canal therapy by drawing on extensive knowledge of root canal evaluation, morphological and anatomical differences of primary teeth, and other relevant topics.

Aim: The aim of this case report is to present three different patients who had horizontal and vertical root fractures of young permanent teeth, its diagnosis, clinical and radiographic findings, treatment, and long-term follow-up and success rate.
Background: Root fractures are relatively rare with the prevalence of 0.5-7% in permanent and 2-4% in deciduous dentition.
Aim And Objective: The present case report aims to describe the nonsurgical management of an anterior tooth with a blunderbuss canal and an open apex using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) under magnification.
Background: When pulp is traumatized before root formation, it results in pulpal necrosis, due to which dentin and root formation are interrupted. As a result, the canal remains broad due to thin and fragile dentin walls leading to the open apex.
