Deep Caries

The goal of this prospective, observational clinical cohort study is to study the effect of the preoperative condition of the tooth on the outcome of partial removal of carious tissue in mature teeth in adults. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Do preoperative symptoms affect the outcome? * Does the depth of the carious lesion affect the outcome? One hundred participants will be recruited. Patients who meet the eligibility criteria will be asked to give their informed consent to participate in the study. Partial carious tissue removal will be performed regardless of participation in the study because selective carious tissue removal is the standard treatment of choice for a vital tooth with a deep carious lesion according to the Finnish national treatment guidelines. Participants will be asked to fill in a questionnaire regarding symptoms 7 days post-treatment. The teeth will then be followed up for 12-24 months. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the success between i) deep and extremely deep carious lesions and ii) initial and mild pulpitis.

Compare the clinical performance and patient satisfaction of Egyptian MTA, Biodentine versus Calcium Hydroxide as indirect pulp capping materials in permanent teeth

This trial aims to compare treatment outcomes between Pulpotomy and Pulpectomy in treating vital primary teeth diagnosed with deep caries with symptoms of irreversible pulpits

This clinical trial will be conducted to clinical, radiographical and histological evaluation of pulp condition with reversible pulpities after total and selective removal of primary and secondary caries (randomized clinical trial and exo-vivo study)

The goal of this study is to evaluate the clinical, radiographic and periodontal performance of bioactive Giomer Shofu Flow Plus X F03 compared to nanohybrid resin composite restoration in deep subgingival proximal cavities over a period of 12 months.

This study will be conducted to evaluate the clinical, radiographic and periodontal performance of bioactive Giomer compared to nanohybrid resin composite restoration in deep subgingival proximal cavities extending below the CEJ over a period of 24 months.

The present study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of bioceramics putty MTA versus MTA in the pulpotomy of immature permanent molars The main question it aims to answer is: Will the biocermaics putty MTA have higher clinical and radiographic success rates than MTA in pulpotomy of immature permanent molars?

Patients presenting with deep decay within permanent teeth presents a common clinical challenge to dentists. The aim of this trial is to compare the success rate of the non-selective caries removal (NSCR) and selective caries removal (SCR) in managing deep caries, as both methods are commonly used in clinical practice. This study will be a randomized controlled trial, with participants divided into two groups: NSCR group and SCR group. Participants of deep caries lesions (reaching more than two-thirds of dentin on periapical radiographs) Both groups will undergo either NSCR or SCR, followed by Partial Pulpotomy (PP) in cases with pulp exposure. Success rates will be assessed at follow-up visits scheduled 1, 3, and 5 years radiographs will be used to assess for pulp health(vitality). The success rate of the two categories will be assessed using a scale that includes factors such as tooth vitality, caries recurrence, and clinical signs of pulpitis. The scale will be applied at follow-up visits. The trial will be conducted in post-graduate dental clinics at Guy's hospital. Deep caries in permanent teeth is a common clinical problem that can lead to pulp exposure and subsequent restorative challenges. The aim of this study is to provide evidence-based guidance for clinicians in managing deep caries lesions, as both NSCR and SCR are commonly used in clinical practice. The results of this study will help clinicians to make informed decisions when choosing the appropriate treatment approach for their patients. In conclusion, this trial aims to compare the success rate of NSCR and SCR in managing deep caries lesions in permanent teeth, as both methods are commonly used in clinical practice. The results of this study will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of these two treatment approaches and will help clinicians to make informed decisions when choosing the appropriate treatment approaches.
