Comparative Histological Study of Two Different Pulp Capping Agents in Rabbits Teeth

Histological considerations of direct pulp capping agents.

The results from this study showed a variety of pulpal responses to various calcium hydroxide materials when placed directly on the dental pulp. Two of the materials proved to be more successful at stimulating reparative dentin bridging and healing of the underlying pulp tissue. The remainder of the pulp capping agents were ineffective at healing the pulp and forming a reparative dentin bridge....

Advances in Pulp Capping Agents

The procedure of pulp capping relies primarily on the ability of the pulpal health. Various factors affect this process namely: age, health of periodontium, root formation, size of exposure, nature of injury and microbial contamination all these only can decide the success of pulp capping. A wide range of materials has been tried to achieve the success. In this review recent advances of the pul...

A Comparative Study between Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and Calcium Hydroxide as Pulp Capping Agents in Dog’s Teeth

Introduction: This study was carried out in order to compare mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and dycal in dog’s teeth as pulp capping agents. Methods: After general and local anesthesia forty-two teeth of three dogs were used. In each tooth a class V cavity was prepared and the pulp was exposed using No.1 round bur. Then the exposed area was capped using either MTA or calcium hydroxide and the...

SEM evaluation of pulp reaction to different pulp capping materials in dog’s teeth

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...
