This study is comparing between the Silver Diamine Fluoride after minimal caries removal versus glass ionomer in permanent teeth with open apex
The study will be carried on young permanent molars with open apices \& with deep caries. Incomplete caries removal and application of indirect pulp capping materials where Silver Diamine Fluoride (Group I) will be compared with glass ionomer only (group II). Then final restoration with composite resin for both groups. Children will be followed up for 9 months.
