Efficacy of vital pulp therapy for carious pulp injury in permanent teeth: a study protocol for an open-label randomized controlled noninferiority trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vital pulp therapy (VPT) has recently been reported as an effective approach for preventing and treating carious pulp injury in permanent teeth. Compared with root canal treatment (RCT), which involves complete removal of the pulp tissue, VPT effectively maintains pulp vitality and retains the physiological functions of the pulp. In the research pool, large-scale randomized controlled trials evaluating the treatment outcome of VPT using calcium silicate cements and RCT in cariously exposed permanent teeth are lacking. Here, we present a monocentric clinical protocol to compare the effects of VPT using iRoot BP Plus (Innovative Bioceramix, Vancouver, BC, Canada) as a pulp-capping material with RCT.

Methods

The proposed trial is an open-label, single-centre, randomi
