Tooth Discoloration Induced by Pulpotomy Materials
Sponsor: Jordan University of Science and Technology
Summary
Vital pulp therapy including pulpotomy is commonly used for managing teeth with carious pulp exposure instead of performing root canal therapy. The gold standard materials used in this procedure are the calcium silicate based materials, however recent case reports have shown tooth discoloration caused by these materials especially MTA which is of concern to the patients. The aim of this study is to compare tooth color changes and discoloration induced by 3 calcium silicate based materials used in pulpotomy over 6 months, 12 months and yearly up to 5 years.
