  • Abstract:
  • Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of factors with regard to the treatment outcome of indirect pulp capping using Biner LC (METABIOMED Co. LTD) and Hydrocal LC (Medicept Co. Ltd) in permanent posterior teeth having Remaining Dentin Thickness (RDT) of less than or equal to 1.5 mm. Material and method: 42 teeth with deep carious lesions and RDT of ≤ 1.5mm underwent indirect pulp capping. Patients were randomly divided into Biner LC and Hydrocal LC groups (n=21 in each group). The patients were followed up at interval of 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months with a routine examination on all recall visits. Periapical radiographs were taken, lack of patient complaints, positive reactions to electric pulp testing, no sensitivity to percussion, and no widening of the periapical ligament indicated success. Statistical Analysis: The results were analysed via One way ANOVA test, Chi square test and Paired t- test in SPSS version 27.0 software. Results: The overall success rate of IPC in the present study was 95.45% at the end of 6 months. There was no significant difference in the outcome between the Biner LC and Hydrocal LC groups (P ≤0.05), suggesting that both the materials are equally effective as an IPC agent. Factors such as the patient's age and status of the pulp can be considered as prognostic factors in the IPC procedure. Conclusion: This study has shown that Hydrocal LC is equally effective in IPC when compared to Biner LC and has higher viscosity and lower time of light curing, unlike Biner LC. Factors such as the patient's age and status of the pulp can be considered as prognostic factors in the IPC procedure. Clinical Significance: The results of the present study strongly confirms the tendency towards less vigorous caries removal in a more biological, pulp-preserving approach.
