Abstract
Aim: To observe the clinical effects of bacailin when used pulp capping agents to cure acute deep caries.Methods: 175 acute deep caries teeth in 152 patients between 8 and 32 years old were randomly divided into two groups.The pulps in treated group were capped with bacailin,while the pulps in controlled group were capped with calcium hydroxide.Clinical symptoms,pulp vitality,and radiological characteristics of all teeth were evaluated after 6 months and 1 year respectively.Results: When sixth month after capping,curative effects of capping between two groups had significant difference(P0.05).Then,the survival rate of the pulps in bacailin group was not better than that in calcium hydroxide group after 1 year(P0.05).Moreover,the effect of direct pulp capping in bacailin group was better than that in calcium hydroxide group(P0.05).Conclusion:Using bacailin as pulp agent is effective and acceptable.It has great clinical potential for treating acute deep caries.
