Summary
This is a randomized clinical study. 48 subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of deep carious
molars without pulpal lesions were randomized to one of two treatments: Patients treated with
Light-cured calcium silicate (Theracal) liner, or treated with light-cured calcium Hydroxide
(Biner LC) liner. Both two Treatments are with the step-wise excavation Technique.
Treatment will be done at baseline, collecting dentin sample before application of liner
material, then patients will be dismissed with Resin-modified Glass Ionomer restoration and
recalled after 6 months. Re-entry of tooth required for completing the step-wise excavation
technique collecting the second dentin sample after this time interval (6 months) and
permanently restore tooth with composite restoration. Dentin samples will be
microbiologically analyzed and the results will be statistically calculated.
