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: The main aim during any dental treatment is to maintain vital pulp as long as possible. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess clinically the use of MTA in direct pulp capping in adult patient. Method: MTA was performed in two visits treatment protocol on direct pulp capping in adult. Results: Clinical and radiological examination conducted after 7 months post treatment of...

i ntroduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and histological status of the pulp in sound human premolars after direct pulp capping (dpc) with four different dpc methods/materials. methods and materials: this study was conducted on eight volunteers who had to extract four first premolars due to orthodontic treatment. subsequent to tooth isolation, standardized class i occlu...

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...

AIM To evaluate the clinical and radiological response of primary molars to direct pulp capping with calcium sulfate hemihydrate. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty primary molar teeth in 40 healthy children aged 5-9 years were treated by direct pulp capping. Teeth were randomly assigned to two groups (n=20) according to material used for capping, as follows: Group 1: calcium hydroxide cement (Dycal...

Aim of study. To evaluate the outcome of direct pulp capping procedures in permanent teeth performed by postgraduate students during their training program in Endodontics. Material and Methods. 39 patients with dental pulp exposures were evaluated clinically and radiologically after direct pulp capping procedure and followed for at least 24 months. The results were considered successful if the ...

Direct pulp capping is one of the most common dental practices in endodontic therapy. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to determine whether the effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and calcium hydroxide for direct pulp capping is different, as measured by the clinical and radiographic analysis. The study list was obtained by searching PubMed, Springer Link, Scopus and Cochrane...

background and aims. the aim of present study was to investigate pulp-dentin complex reactions following direct pulp capping (dpc) with calcium hydroxide [ca(oh)2] and simvastatin as pulp-capping materials in the primary human molars. materials and methods. 120 primary molar teeth which had to be extracted for orthodontic reasons were randomly allocated into four groups. group ι as a control, u...

Direct pulp capping helps extend the life of a diseased tooth by maintaining tooth vitality. Nowadays, lasers are more frequently used during direct pulp capping in the clinic, but their use has not been previously reviewed. This review presents the basic properties of currently available lasers, scientific evidence on the effects of laser application on direct pulp capping, and future directio...
