Summary
Management of deep carious lesions in permanent mature molars with reversible pulpitis
represents a challenge for clinicians. Vital pulp therapy includes indirect and direct pulp
capping, partial pulpotomy and full pulpotomy. Indirect pulp capping is a procedure in which
a material is placed on a thin layer of remaining soft dentin that, if removed, might expose
the pulp. The objective is dentin bridge formation and pulp vitality preservation.
The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the success rate of indirect pulp
capping with Biodentine and TheraCal LC in mature permanent molars with deep carious lesions
at one-year follow-up examination. The null hypothesis tested will be that there is no
statistically significant difference in success rate between both materials in indirect pulp
capping of permanent mature molars with deep carious lesions.
