Effect of Age on the Success of DPC Using Bio-ceramic Materials in Cariously Exposed Teeth With Reversible Pulpitis

Study Title: - Effect of age on the success of direct pulp capping using bio-ceramic materials in cariously exposed teeth with reversible pulpitis: A Prospective clinical study. Rationale: - Preservation of pulp vitality is a critical factor in long-term tooth survival. In deep carious lesion with reversible pulpitis, vital pulp therapy procedures in the form of direct pulp capping(DPC)is more conservative treatment strategy, based on the premise that a biologically active material placed in direct contact with the pulp wound can determine the pulpal response and result in the development of a reparative hard tissue bridge to preserve pulp vitality. Patient's age may have a role in the survival rate after direct pulp capping and the role of the pulp capping material has been recognized as an important parameter for the success of treatment. Research Question : Does age has any influence on the success of DPC procedure and is there any difference between MTA and Biodentine as DPC material in cariously exposed permanent teeth with reversible pulpitis? Aim \& Objectives- To evaluate the effect of age on success of Direct Pulp Capping, to evaluate the success of MTA and Biodentine as direct pulp capping agents.
