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...

Potential applications for gene-based tissue engineering therapies in the oral and maxillofacial complex include the delivery of growth factors for periodontal regeneration, pulp capping/dentin regeneration, and bone grafting of large osseous defects in dental and craniofacial reconstruction. Part 1 reviewed the principals of gene-enhanced tissue engineering and the techniques of introducing DN...

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...

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 ...

Pulp capping is a procedure that comprises adequate protection of the pulp tissue exposed to the oral environment, aiming at the preservation of its vitality and functions. This study evaluated the response of the dental pulps of dog teeth to capping with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or calcium hydroxide P.A. For that purpose, 37 teeth were divided into two groups, according to the capping ...

Introduction Direct pulp capping (DPC) is a treatment for maintaining pulp vitality and its biological function. Ideally, pulp capping agents are expected to induce pulp cells to form hard tissue. This in vitro study assessed the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of three vital pulp capping (VPC) agents naming Biodentine (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fosses, France), mineral trioxide aggregate (ProRoo...

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....

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...

INTRODUCTION Various materials are used in direct dental pulp capping method. Their biocompatibility and alkalizing abilities are of primary importance affecting therapeutic effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the cytotoxicity of various pulp-capping materials on human gingival fibroblasts and investigate the pH changes induced by these materials. MATERIAL AND METHODS H...
