- Abstract
Introduction: The indirect pulp-capping treatment in deep caries lesions induces the formation of reparative dentin, and, therefore, protecting and preserving the vital pulp. New-generation materials with bioactive glass particles have been used in all areas of dentistry in recent years to increase the bioactivity and regeneration capacity of dental materials. Objective: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of zinc bioactive glass and calcium hydroxide as indirect pulp capping agents in both primary and permanent teeth. Methodology: A total of 35 children aged 4-15 years were screened, of which 30 primary and permanent carious molars that met the inclusion criteria were selected and divided into two equal material groups: Group 1, Zinc Bioactive glass and Group 2, Calcium hydroxide. Following clinical examination and caries removal, the application of zinc bioactive glass and calcium hydroxide was carried out, respectively, followed by final restoration. Clinical and radiographic assessments were conducted at 1, 3, and 6 months posttreatment. The obtained data were statistically analyzed. Results: During the follow-up periods, the zinc bioactive glass group and calcium hydroxide group showed clinical success of 96% and 94%, respectively, and radiographic success of 94% and 92%, respectively. However, no statistically significant difference was found between the groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The results of this study showed promising results for the zinc bioactive glass group over the calcium hydroxide group.
