Comparative Evaluation of Calcium Silicate-doped Treated Dentin Matrix and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate as Miniature Pulpotomy Biomaterials in Deep Carious Lesions
Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) for Miniature Pulpotomy: Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) for miniature pulpotomy. MTA serves as standard of care.
Study summary
AIM:
To compare the efficacy of a Novel calcium silicate doped treated dentin matrix and Mineral Trioxide aggregate as biomaterials for miniature pulpotomy.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of calcium silicate-doped human-treated dentin matrix (CaSi+hTDM) compared to Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in maintaining pulp vitality using cold testing following Miniature Pulpotomy (MP) in deep and extremely deep carious lesions with reversible pulpitis in 14- to 35-year-old patients reporting to Department of Dentistry, AIIMS Nagpur.
Secondary objectives:
1. To evaluate patient-reported outcomes such as pain, swelling, sinus tract etc. post-operatively.
2. To determine the clinical success rates of both materials by assessing the Periapical index of healing over a 6 months follow-up period.
NULL HYPOTHESIS:
The null hypothesis (H0) is that there is no difference between CaSi+hTDM and MTA in maintaining pulp vitality when used as a Miniature Pulpotomy (MP) biomaterial in carious lesions.

Inclusion Criteria:
* The healthy participants (ASA 1 and 2), between ages 14 - 35 years, reporting to AIIMS Nagpur from within a 100 kms radius with carious pulp exposure in mature permanent teeth and with the following clinical and radiographic features will be included in the study:
I. Clinical features
1. The clinical diagnosis of reversible pulpitis characterized by mild pain (on Numerical Rating Scale 11) that goes away within a couple of seconds following the removal of the stimulus (113)
2. Positive response to pulp sensibility tests.
II. Radiographic features
1. Normal periapical tissues \[Periapical index (PAI) score ≤2\](114)
2. The presence of carious lesion with radiolucency penetrating three-fourths (deep caries) or the entire (extremely deep caries) dentin thickness
Exclusion Criteria:
* The patients with the following clinical and radiographic features will be excluded from the study:
I. Clinical features
1. A history of spontaneous unprovoked toothache, pain on percussion, a sinus tract, compromised periodontal status (periodontal pockets \> 4mm), excessive mobility, crack
2. Profuse hemorrhage from exposure site (\>5 minutes)
3. The presence of serous or purulent exudates from the exposure site.
4. Teeth that have experienced traumatic occlusion, non-carious lesions, developmental defects etc.
II. Radiographic features
1. The evidence of internal or external resorption, or the calcification of the pulp chamber or canals or presence of condensing osteitis.
2. The presence of radiolucency in the furcation or periapical regions.
