80 participants in 2 patient groups

MTA

Active Comparator group

Description:

ProRoot® MTA is a root canal repair material that is a unique improvement over other materials used for root canal repair. Made up of fine hydrophilic particles that set in the presence of water, ProRoot® MTA seals off all pathways between the root canal system and surrounding tissues, significantly reducing bacterial migration. Its excellent compatibility with the dentinal wall allows for a predictable clinical healing response.

Treatment:

Procedure: Pulpotomy

MedCem Portland Cement (PC)

Experimental group

Description:

MedCem PC is an excellent capping material for cariology on permanent teeth (direct and indirect capping) and in milk tooth endodontics (milk tooth amputation). Is characterized by excellent colour stability and neutrality and does not contain any additional ingredients

Treatment:

Procedure: Pulpotomy
