Abstract
aims of the Study: The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mineral trioxide aggregate MTA as direct pulp capping material in permanent teeth with traumatic exposure. Materials And Methods: twenty four permanent teeth for healthy patients ages between 15-40 accepted direct pulp capping treatment after accidental traumatic exposure during cavity preparation done by graduate students, in Conservative Department , College of Dentistry, University of Mosul. The teeth were treated directly with MTA material over the exposure site then based with Glass Ionomer cement and restored with permanent restoration . clinical , and radiographic examinations were carried out after 1 week then follow up after 6,10,12,24 weeks. Results: six month clinical &radiographic follow up were carried out for all patients . At recall appointments, patients were evaluated for reparative dentin formation, pulpal calcification, continued normal root development and evidence of pathosis. One patient did not return for recall appointments and evaluations after one week , another one failed to return after six weeks interval . The remaining had favorable outcomes on the basis of clinical finding , electrical pulp tester & radiographic appearance . Conclusion : within the limitation period of the present study , MTA can be considered as a reliable pulp capping material for manangment direct pulp exposure in permanent teeth.
