Efficacy of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and Photobiomodulation on Pulp Capping of Dogs’ Teeth

AIM: The present study assessed the effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and photobiomodulation (PBM) on pulp capping exposed dogs’ teeth. METHODS: Forty-eight teeth in three mongrel dogs were randomly divided into two major groups; Group I where MTA was used as a agent II which both MTA+PBM used. groups equally subdivided according to observation period following completion Subgroup (A) 1 week, (B) 2, (C) 16 weeks. examined for histological inflammatory response well dentine bridge formation. RESULTS: With regard at week significantly, less intense inflammation observed (Group II) compared I) same time with no significant difference between other intervals. As dentin formation, PBM+MTA showed statistically thicker formation weeks than alone group CONCLUSIONS: Under conditions this study, PBM appeared be beneficial adjunct dental procedures material.
