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 ...

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...

BACKGROUND Permanent teeth pulp exposures have traditionally been treated with calcium hydroxide pulp capping. The aim of this study was to investigate the response of human pulp tissue which were mechanically exposed to a new material, Propolis and compare it with two existing and commonly used pulp capping agents (mineral trioxide aggregate and Dycal). METHODS Thirty-six intact human premol...

introduction: this study was carried out to investigate calcific tissue formation against mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) after pulp capping. materials and methods: the pulps of six teeth from four dogs were exposed and capped with mta. after extraction each tooth was sectioned into halves. each half was then further sectioned in the mesiodistal or buccolingual direction. calcified tissue of t...

CONTEXT Direct pulp capping involves the placement of a biocompatible agent on pulp tissue that has been inadvertently exposed from traumatic injury or by iatrogenic means. AIM To compare the human pulp response to calcium hydroxide and Biodentine as direct pulp-capping agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pulp exposures were performed on the pulpal floor of forty human permanent premolars. The ex...

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...

introduction: the aim of the present investigation was to compare the efficacy of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and 0.2% chlorhexidine (chx) mixture to pure mta, as a pulp capping material. methods and materials: the pulp of 24 lateral incisors and canines from four dogs were exposed and capped either with mta or mta+0.2% chx. after 2 months the animals were sacrificed and the teeth were pre...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the success rate of a calcium hydroxide-based direct capping agent in permanent teeth. METHOD AND MATERIALS A total of 1,075 permanent teeth were treated in this study. All patients received direct pulp capping with a calcium hydroxide-based agent. Inclusion criteria were teeth with healthy pulps, pulps with signs of reversible pulpitis, and a pulp chamber roof opening s...

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 r...

Introduction: The main aim during any dental treatment is to maintain vital pulp as long as possible. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess clinically the use of MTA in direct pulp capping in adult patient. Method: MTA was performed in two visits treatment protocol on direct pulp capping in adult. Results: Clinical and radiological examination conducted after 7 months post treatment of...
