ABSTRACT
Objective: This Study Evaluated Radiographically The Changes In The Remaining Dentin Thickness And Density Following Indirect Pulp Treatment (IPT)of Young Permanent Molars With Photoactivated Oral Disinfection (PAD)in Comparison To Calcium Hydroxide(CH).
Methods: Indirect Pulp Treatment With Either Photo-activated Oral Disinfection (Group I) Or Calcium Hydroxide(Group II) Was Performed In Thirty-two Permanent Molars With Deep Caries. Evidence Of Dentin Bridge Formation And Change In The Remaining Dentin Thickness And Density Were Assessed After 9 Months Of Treatment.
Results: Radiographic Assessment Showed Evidence Dentin Bridge Formation In All Teeth With An Increase Of 69,99 % And 65.43 % For Group I And II Respectively. The Radiographic Assessment Also Revealed Change In The Remaining Dentin Density Of 3.44% And 3.34 For Group I And II Respectively
Conclusions: No Difference Regarding The Radiographic Treatment Outcomes Following Indirect Pulp Treatment Of Young Permanent Molars With Either Photoactivated Oral Disinfection Or Calcium Hydroxide Was Found.
