The Effect of Different Risk Factors on the Success Rate of VPT

Sponsor: Semmelweis University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various vital pulp therapy (VPT) methods, such as direct pulp capping, partial pulpotomy, and total pulpotomy, in maintaining pulp vitality following pulp exposure. It explores the success rates of these treatments compared and investigates co-factors influencing these rates, including age. This prospective cohort study involves patients over 18 with restorable teeth and exposed pulp chambers. Success is measured through clinical and radiological criteria over a follow-up period of up to four years. The study also aims to identify if there's an age threshold affecting the preference for VPT over root canal therapy.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

with Biodentine

After the bleeding has stopped, the cavity is flushed with sterile saline and Biodentine (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France) is mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions. First it is applied directly to the pulp wound using light pressure, and then the entire cavity is filled with it. One week later the superficial 2-3 mm is removed and replaced it with permanent restoration.

PROCEDURE

with MTA

After the bleeding has stopped, the cavity is flushed with sterile saline and MTA+ (Cercamed, Stalowa Wola, Poland) is mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions. First it is applied directly to the pulp wound using light pressure, and after its initial setting the cavity is filled with glass ionomer cement. One week later the glass ionomer cement is removed and replaced it with permanent restoration.
