Thermal Properties of Dental Materials-Cavity Liner and Pulp Capping Agent-

The effect of different pulp-capping materials on proliferation, migration and cytokine secretion of human dental pulp stem cells

Objective(s): Biocompatibility of dental biomaterials plays a critical role in regeneration of dental stem cells. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of novel biomaterials of TheraCal-LC (TheraCal; Bisco), Angelus mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA; Angelus), calcium-enriched mixture (CEM; BioniqueDent), and Biodentine (Septodont) on viability of human de...

Biocompatibility of Dental Pulp Capping Materials: a Histological Study

Cytotoxicity and Biocompatibility of Direct and Indirect Pulp Capping Materials

There are several studies about the cytotoxic effects of dental materials in contact with the pulp tissue, such as calcium hydroxide (CH), adhesive systems, resin composite and glass ionomer cements. The aim of this review article was to summarize and discuss the cytotoxicity and biocompatibility of materials used for protection of the dentin-pulp complex, some components of resin composites an...

Effect of an Experimental Direct Pulp-capping Material on the Properties and Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells

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...

In vivo study of respiratory depression of pulp tissue resulting from cavity preparation and dental materials.

Pulpal respiration in second and third premolar dog teeth was measured by a radioisotope tracer determination. Dental amalgam, a zinc oxide and eugenol base, and a calcium hydroxide base were placed into a cavity preparation. Following a two-week period the teeth wer~ extracted intact. The pulp tissue was removed and suspended in a phosphate buffer saline solution (PBS) which 14C-succinic acid ...
