Summary
This clinical trial will evaluate the effectiveness of eggshell-derived calcium hydroxyapatite compared to calcium hydroxide as indirect pulp capping agent in permanent teeth. A total of 54 teeth from healthy individuals aged 18 to 40 years will be randomly allocated into two groups: Group A (experimental) treated with eggshell-derived calcium hydroxyapatite. Group B (control) treated with calcium hydroxide. After caries removal the assigned pulp capping agent will be applied, and the teeth will be restored. Clinical and radiographic evaluations will be performed at 1 and 3 months to assess pulp vitality, symptom-free status, and periapical health.
