Protocol summary

Study aim
The effect of Protooth and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate in direct pulp capping of primary molars will be comprised with the aim of preservation of tooth vitality and structure and prevention of more aggressive treatments.
Design
In this randomized, single blind, split mouth,controlled clinical trial study with parallel group, symmetrical bilateral second primary molar teeth in maxilla or mandible will be chosen in 45 patients (overall 90 teeth).Randomization will be done by throwing a coin.
Settings and conduct
This clinical trial study will be done in Tabriz dentistry faculty. After obtaining informed consent from parient's parents,local anesthesia injection, isolation, and caries excavation, in group A, Protooth placement and in group B, MTA placement in exposure site will be performed. In this single blind study, participants are unaware of the allocation of study groups and information is not given to the parents about which of the materials is used in the patient's left or right primary molar.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 5 to 8 years old children having a pair of symmetric second primary molar teeth in one jaw having deep caries and vital pulp and no history of spontaneous pain; No sign of radiolucency or pathologic root resorption Exclusion criteria:Lack of informed consent by the child patient’s parent; Abnormal bleeding at the site of pulp exposure; No evidence of pulp exposure in teeth.
Intervention groups
Local anesthesia injection, isolation, and caries excavation will be performed in both groups and in group A, Protooth placement and in group B, MTA placement in exposure site will be performed. Then in both groups the site will be covered with Glass Ionomer. After amalgam restoration, periapical radiographs will be obtained.
Main outcome variables
Clinical success(Dental pulp vitality after treatment); Radiographic success.

Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
5-8 years old children Having a pair of symmetric second primary molar teeth in one jaw having deep caries and vital pulp Capable of being restored by amalgam filling No history of spontaneous pain, pathologic mobility, draining sinus tract, redness or swelling of vestibule Normal gingival and periodontal condition, with no sensitivity to vestibular palpation, and no pain on percussion test Complete physical and mental health with no confounding history of systemic disease and/or use of special local or systemic drugs; No allergic reactions recorded in patient history No sign of radiolucency in periapical or furcation area No widening of PDL space or loss of lamina dura continuity No evidence of internal/external pathologic root resorption
Exclusion criteria:
Lack of informed consent by the child patient’s parent Abnormal bleeding at the site of pulp exposure (i.e. bleeding which lasts for more than 3 minutes) No evidence of pulp exposure at the site of caries excavation in symmetric second primary molar teeth, which were conventionally restored with an amalgam filling and excluded from our study Evidence of pulp exposure surrounded by carious dentin which is indicative of pulpal contamination

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization is done by throwing a coin. One side of coin is assigned to the MTA and the other side is assigned to Protooth, and the first throw, determines the material used on the right primary molar of the patient.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
In this study, participants are unaware of the allocation of study groups and information is not given to the parents about which of the materials is used in the patient's left or right primary molar.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group:The effect of Protooth (Ultrafast Protooth, Dentosolve, Aarhus, Denmark) in direct pulp capping of primary molars. This material was applied by using its own commercial instrument with a rounded tip in a layer with maximum thickness of 1.5 millimeters and then covered with a low viscosity Glass Ionomer layer (RMGI, Fuji II, LC GC, America) with a thickness of 2 mm to ensure the proper seal.

Treatment - Other

2

Description
Control group: The effect of MTA (ProRoot; Dentsply, Tulsa, OK, USA) in direct pulp capping of primary molars. This material will be handled and applied to the exposure site with an MTA carrier, gently pressed with a moist cotton pellet for better adaptation with the exposure site, and then covered with a low viscosity Glass Ionomer layer (RMGI, Fuji II, LC GC, America) with a thickness of 2 mm to ensure the proper seal.
