This study evaluated the short-term response of human pulp tissue when directly capped with Portland cement. In this series of cases, twenty human third molars that were scheduled for extraction were used. After cavity preparation, pulp exposure was achieved and Portland cement pulp capping was performed. Teeth were extracted after 1, 7, 14 and 21 days following treatment and prepared for histo...

in modern endodontics, vital pulp therapy (vpt) has been considered an ultra-conservative treatment modality. based on the level of pulp preservation, vpt includes stepwise excavation, indirect pulp capping (idpc), direct pulp capping (dpc), miniature pulpotomy (mp), partial/cvek pulpotomy and coronal/complete pulpotomy (cp). the present article reviews the treatment outcomes of 94 permanent te...

diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease which affects the healing ability of the pulp and periodontium. the aim of the present study was to assess the histopathologic response of dental pulp to pulp capping using mta or cem cement in diabetic rats. thirty two wistar male rats aged between 8 and 10 weeks (weight: 200-250g) were divided into two groups of diabetic (n=16) and healthy (n=16) animals...

statement of problem: recently, it has been proposed that different adhesive materials can be used for direct pulp capping. previous studies have demonstrated that multi steps dentin adhesives could form reparative dentin similar to calcium hydroxide (ch). purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the histological pulp response of ninety mechanically exposed cat pulps to two adhesive resin...

introduction: direct pulp capping (dpc) is coverage of exposed pulp by a biocompatible material after traumatic or carious exposure. the purpose of this procedure is to seal against bacterial leakage, stimulate dentinal barrier formation, and maintain the vitality of pulp. several factors contribute to the consequence of this treatment such as material and the procedural technique. the aim of t...

Reviews on the clinical performance of vital pulp treatment strategies and capping materials repeatedly showed an insufficient grade of evidence concerning their therapeutic validity. The biological mechanisms underlying the regenerative potential of pulp-dentin complex have attracted much attention during the last two decades, since new pulp treatment modalities have been designed and tested a...

INTRODUCTION Direct pulp capping procedure is a therapeutic application of a drug on exposed tooth pulp in order to ensure the closure of the pulp chamber and to allow the healing process to take place. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the histological effects of Emdogain® on exposed tooth pulp of a Vietnamese pig (Sus scrofa verus). METHODS The study comprised 20 teeth of a V...

PURPOSE To (1) study the injury and healing activity of the pulp tissue to calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2], resin composite (RC) and resin-modified glass-ionomer (RMGI) materials when used as direct pulp capping agents, and (2) compare the incidence of healing defects between these materials. METHODS 135 Class V pulp exposed cavities were prepared in non-human primate teeth. Direct pulp capping w...
