This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) pulp capping for caries-exposed permanent teeth. However, the efficacy of MTA in the treatment of children's gums is still controversial, and different studies have shown different efficacy. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically review the efficacy and safety of MTA pulp incision in the treatment of pediatric caries using meta methods.
We used meta-analysis to compare differences in the efficacy of MTA and calcium hydroxide (CH) for treating caries in permanent teeth. The mean treatment success rate of MTA for reversible and irreversible pulpitis groups was calculated, and the effect of apical opening condition and surgical type on success rate were investigated.
A total of 15 studies were included, and meta-analysis showed that there was a significant statistical difference between the MTA group and CH group in efficacy [odds ratio (OR) =1.87, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.28, 2.73, P=0.001, I=63%, Z=3.25], success rate (OR =3.20, 95% CI: 1.93, 5.30, P<0.00001, I=0%, Z=4.52), influence of apical foramen condition on success rate (OR =1.77, 95% CI: 1.14, 2.73, P=0.01, I=15%, Z=2.56), and surgical procedure on success rate (OR =2.64, 95% CI: 1.65, 4.23, P<0.0001, I=45%, Z=4.05).
Our results showed that MTA pulpotomy was superior to CH. Nonclosure of apical openings and complete coronal pulpotomy may be more beneficial than partial pulpotomy.
本研究旨在评估三氧化矿物凝聚体(MTA)用于龋损恒牙盖髓术的效果。然而,MTA治疗儿童牙龈的疗效仍存在争议,不同研究显示出不同的疗效。因此,有必要采用Meta分析方法系统评价MTA牙髓切断术治疗儿童龋齿的疗效和安全性。
我们采用Meta分析比较MTA和氢氧化钙(CH)治疗恒牙龋齿疗效的差异。计算MTA治疗可逆性和不可逆性牙髓炎组的平均治疗成功率,并研究根尖孔状况和手术类型对成功率的影响。
共纳入15项研究,Meta分析显示,MTA组和CH组在疗效[比值比(OR)=1.87,95%置信区间(CI):1.28,2.73,P=0.001,I=63%,Z=3.25]、成功率(OR =3.20,95%CI:1.93,5.30,P<0.00001,I=0%,Z=4.52)、根尖孔状况对成功率的影响(OR =1.77,95%CI:1.14,2.73,P=0.01,I=15%,Z=2.56)以及手术操作对成功率的影响(OR =2.64,95%CI:1.65,4.23,P<0.0001,I=45%,Z=4.05)方面存在显著统计学差异。
我们的结果表明,MTA牙髓切断术优于CH。根尖孔未封闭和完全冠髓切断术可能比部分牙髓切断术更有益。
