Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) is a new material recently approved by the FDA for use in pulpal therapy. MTA has been reported to have superior biocompatibility and sealing ability and is less cytotoxic than other materials currently used in pulpal therapy. This report is a review of MTA's physical and biological properties and the clinical techniques of direct pulp capping, apexification, an...

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...

The aim of the present work was to find a suitable Kraft cooking process for olive tree pruning (OTP), in order to produce pulp of kappa number about 17. The Kraft pulp produced under optimized conditions showed a viscosity of 31.5 mPa·s and good physical, mechanical, and optical properties, which are suitable for paper production. The physical-mechanical and optical properties were measured be...

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...

Objective. This study presents a clinical and histological evaluation of human pulp tissue responses after direct capping using a new dentin adhesive system. Methods. Twenty-eight caries-free third molar teeth scheduled for extraction were evaluated. The pulps of 22 teeth were mechanically exposed and randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups: Single Bond Universal or calcium hydroxide. Another group ...

INTRODUCTION Pulp vitality and its continuous dentin prodution are essential for long-term success of direct pulp capping (DPC). The aim of present study was to evaluate the histopathological response of the canine pulp following DPC using either different dentin adhesive resins (DAR), calcium hydroxide (CH) or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). METHODS AND MATERIALS DPC was done on 72 dog's t...

The consequences of pulp exposure from caries, trauma or tooth preparation misadventure can be severe, with pain and infection the result. The morbidity associated with treating pulp exposures is consequential, often requiring either extraction or root canal therapy. Both the loss of the tooth and its replacement, or endodontic treatment and tooth restoration, involve multiple appointments and ...

Studies on dental regeneration involving interventions for pulp therapy such as regeneration and revascularization procedures are promising for the injured tooth; however, a complete replication of the original pulp tissue does not seem to take place. In cases in which we wish to preserve or maintain parts of the pulp during treatment, it is apparent that the effectiveness of healing or biologi...

Background: After indirect capping, injured odontoblasts generate reactionary dentin, whereas after direct capping of a pulp exposure pulp, cells stimulate the formation of reparative dentin. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of two direct capping agents on pulp tissue reactions: Hydrogel (a bovine serum albumin (BSA)/glutaraldehyde,) and Dycal (a calcium hydroxide-b...

Capík I . , V. Ledeck ̆, A. ·evãík: Effects of Flumetazone on Exposed Dental Pulp of Dogs. Acta Vet. Brno 2003, 72: 279-283. Dental pulp metabolism plays very important role throughout the tooth life. Its role is essential particularly in the first two-three years. This is the time of the highest dentin deposition which provides sufficient firmness to withstand common everyday trauma. This study...
