Indirect Pulp Capping Using Biodentine and Theracal Light-cured in Primary Molars

Many materials have been used in indirect pulp capping for primary dentition. An ideal pulp capping material is to be successful when it is biocompatible, radiopaque, maintain good seal, protect the pulp against bacterial invasion in both long and short run, release sustained amounts of calcium ions, act as reservoir for calcium hydroxide and stimulate reparative dentin formation through inducing the pulp cells to form odontoblasts. Theracal light cured is a light-cured resin modified calcium silicate (RMCS) used as an indirect pulp capping material. It releases more calcium ions than Mineral trioxide aggregate or dycal inducing reparative dentin and dentin bridge formation.Theracal light cured showed better sealing ability and less microleakage than Mineral trioxide aggregate and Biodentine
