Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  ACTIVA BioACTIVE   ACTIVA BioACTIVE contain rubberized resin and a bioactive ionomer glass. The material has properties of RMGIC combined with modified resin matrix. Dose/Quantity: Sufficient amount to cover the affected dentin. Frequency: Single application. Route of Administration: Applied directly over the affected dentin in the prepared cavity of primary molars. Total Duration: Single application followed by permanent restoration. Clinical and radiographic follow-up will be conducted at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months  
Comparator Agent  Calcium hydroxide (Dycal)  calcium hydroxide promote dentin bridge formation and pulp healing by releasing calcium ions. Dose/Quantity: Sufficient amount to cover the affected dentin. Frequency: Single application. Route of Administration: Applied directly over the affected dentin in the prepared cavity of primary molars. Total Duration: Single application followed by permanent restoration. Clinical and radiographic follow-up will be conducted at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months  
Intervention  EndoSequence root repair material (ERRM)  EndoSequence root repair material (ERRM) is a calcium silicate based cement, available in premixed putty form. Dose/Quantity: Sufficient amount to cover the affected dentin. Frequency: Single application. Route of Administration: Applied directly over the affected dentin in the prepared cavity of primary molars. Total Duration: Single application followed by permanent restoration. Clinical and radiographic follow-up will be conducted at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

Brief Summary  

Various materials have been used for indirect pulp capping, with calcium hydroxide as the gold standard. However, its limitations have led to the exploration of alternatives like EndoSequence root repair material (ERRM) and ACTIVA BioACTIVE, which aim to promote pulp healing while addressing the drawbacks of calcium hydroxide. ERRM is a calcium silicate-based cement, while ACTIVA BioACTIVE combines the properties of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) with a modified resin matrix. These materials release beneficial ions for pulp health.

AIM and OBJECTIVES:

Aim:

To evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic success of indirect pulp capping with three different materials (Calcium hydroxide, EndoSequence Root repair material and ACTIVA bioACTIVE at 3, 6, 9 and 12 month interval.

Objectives:

1.     To evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of indirect pulp capping agents (Calcium hydroxide, EndoSequence root repair material and ACTIVA BioACTIVE.

2.     To assess the effectiveness of EndoSequence root repair material and ACTIVA BioACTIVE when compared with Calcium hydroxide (Dycal).

MATERIAL AND METHODS:

Study Setting:

The study will be conducted at the Post-Graduate Clinic, Department of Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry, King George’s Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.

Study Design:

This is a randomized controlled clinical trial conducted at the same department.

Participants:

Children aged 4-9 years will be screened. Inclusion criteria focus on cooperative patients with dental issues, while exclusion criteria involve medical complications and uncooperative behavior.

Randomization and Blinding:

Participants will be divided into three groups using random numbers. Allocation will be concealed. A single operator will perform the procedures, and an independent observer will handle follow-up, ensuring blinding.

Procedure:

Informed consent will be obtained from parents, carious lesions will be treated with one of three materials, and follow-up evaluations will occur at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

Sample Size:

A total of 81 participants (27 per group) was calculated to be sufficient for statistical analysis.

Statistical Analysis:

Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 21. Categorical outcome measures will be compared using chi-square tests, with significance set at p<0.05.
