Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and light cured calcium silicate (TheraCal) in promoting reparative dentin formation during indirect pulp treatment (IPT) in primary molars over six months.
- Conducted on 43 primary molars from 21 children aged 4-7 years, the trial involved measuring dentin thickness at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months using digital radiography.
- Results indicated that both materials significantly increased dentin thickness, with no significant difference between the two, suggesting TheraCal is a viable alternative to MTA for pediatric dental procedures.
