Brief Summary:
This study aims to investigate the tooth nerve response to a recently introduced therapeutic filling material calcium silicate cement called Biodentine and to assess the quality of the overlying filling compared to another material glass ionomer cement called Fuji IX used more commonly Also to compare the effectiveness of cone beam computed tomography x-rays compared to conventional periapical x-rays in detecting lesions around these teeth
Detailed Description:
Tooth decay is one of the most widespread diseases in the world Very often a patient comes to the dental clinic when experiencing pain which commonly means the decay is deep and is very close to or has penetrated the nerve of the tooth When the decay is very close to the pulp or nerve of the tooth a procedure called pulp capping is done in an attempt to save the tooth and to prevent root canal treatment A material has been introduced to the market for this purpose called Biodentine This study aims to investigate the nerve response to this material and to assess the quality of the overlying filling compared to another material glass ionomer cement used more commonly Also X-rays are a routine procedure used to assess how close the decay is to the nerve and to see if there are abnormalities around the tooth However conventional X-rays may not be accurate A new technique called Cone Beam Computed Tomography CBCT has been developed which shows a 3-D image of the tooth and may be more accurate We aim to compare the images gained from conventional X-rays and CBCT to help improve diagnosis and care planning for patients
