Abstract

Background: Indirect pulp treatment (IPT) is often employed in dentistry as a valuable technique for preserving dental vitality. While mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) remains a popular choice, the need for materials with shorter setting times, lower costs, and minimized discoloration concerns has led to the exploration of alternative options.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the radiographic and clinical outcomes of gel-based MTA Kids e-MTA (Kids-e-Dental, Mumbai, India) with MTA (ProRoot MTA, Dentsply Tulsa, Johnson City, TN, USA).

Materials and methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted in which participants aged 6-12 years were selected according to inclusion criteria. A sample size of 32 primary molars and young permanent molars with deep caries were treated by IPT with 2 mm ProRoot MTA and e-MTA. The groups were divided into two: group I (ProRoot MTA) and group II (e-MTA), with 16 samples in each group. Clinical and radiographic success, in addition to newly formed dentin thickness, were evaluated regularly at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

Results: Both groups showed a clinical and radiographic success rate of 100% throughout all follow-up intervals. Analysis of the mean thickness of newly formed dentin at various follow-up intervals revealed no statistically significant difference between the two groups at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, with p-values of 0.32, 0.33, 0.33, 0.33, and 0.33, respectively.
