Effect of four direct pulp capping agents on human dental pulp tissue

Le résumé fourni par la source

Direct pulp capping (DPC) is a vital pulp therapy, wherein accidental or carious pulp exposures can be capped with various materials to induce reparative dentine formation. One of the major factors that determine the success of direct pulp capping procedures is the material used. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate and compare the efficacy of a new material, Tristrontium aluminate in comparison with the widely used materials such as ProRoot MTA, Biodentine & TheraCal LC. Hence, 40 premolars scheduled for extraction for orthodontic treatment, were equally divided into 4 groups and iatrogenic DPC was done using one of the study materials. The premolars were then extracted after 90 days & assessed for the formation of Dentine Bridge and pulpal response elicited by the materials using CBCT and histopathological analysis. All the materials tested in the study were successful in inducing dentine bridge formation & maintaining pulp vitality. Thus, the novelty of Tristrontium aluminate for potential applications in future is eminent.
