Effective pulp-capping materials must have antibacterial properties and induce dentin bridge formation; however, many current materials do not satisfy clinical requirements. Accordingly, the effects of an experiment pulp-capping material (Exp) composed of an antibacterial resin monomer (MAE-DB) and Portland cement (PC) on the viability, adhesion, migration, and differentiation of human dental p...

Multiple analyses discussed using MTA as direct capping material. These reports have shown that MTA is a promising material for the preservation of pulp tissue when used as a direct capping material. Many clinical studies have demonstrated successful outcomes after the use of MTA as a capping agent on mechanically or cariously exposed pulps. The studies performed by us in this research focused ...

vital pulp therapy (vpt) is a biologic and conservative treatment modality to preserve the vitality and function of the coronal or remaining radicular pulp tissue in vital permanent teeth. a search was conducted via the cochrane database, pubmed, medline, and ovid for any articles with the criteria for “pulp-capping,” or “pulp-capping materials” and “vpt outcomes” from 1978 to mid 2014. all art...

Background and aims. Mineral trioxide aggregate and calcium hydroxide are considered the gold standard pulp-capping materials. Recently, Portland cement has been introduced with properties similar to those of mineral trioxide aggregate. Histopathological effects of direct pulp capping using mineral trioxide aggregate and Portland cements on dog dental pulp tissue were evaluated in the present s...

introduction: this study was carried out to investigate calcific tissue formation against mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) after pulp capping. materials and methods: the pulps of six teeth from four dogs were exposed and capped with mta. after extraction each tooth was sectioned into halves. each half was then further sectioned in the mesiodistal or buccolingual direction. calcified tissue of t...

INTRODUCTION This investigation evaluates the effects of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), calcium hydroxide (CH) and calcium enriched mixture (CEM) as pulp capping materials on dental pulp tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS The experimental procedures were performed on eighteen intact dog canine teeth. The pulps were exposed. Cavities were randomly filled with CEM, MTA, or CH followed by glass i...

AIM Direct pulp capping is the treatment of an exposed vital pulp with a dental material to facilitate the formation of reparative dentin and maintenance of vital pulp. A bioengineered drug delivery vehicle has the potential to increase the success rate of pulp capping. The aim of this study was to develop an injectable and light-curing drug delivery vehicle for endodontic treatment including d...
