There have been several studies conducted on the success rates of direct and indirect pulp capping using a range of different materials. One study of indirect pulp capping recorded success rates of 98.3% and 95% using bioactive tricalcium silicate [Ca3SiO5]-based dentin substitute and light-activated calcium hydroxide [CA(OH)2]-based liner ...
Pulp capping is a method to protect the pulp chamber if the clinician suspects it may have been exposed by caries or cavity preparation. Indirect pulp caps are indicated for suspected micro-exposures whereas direct pulp caps are place on a visibly exposed pulp.
They are commonly used as pulp capping agents and lining materials for silicate and resin-based filling materials. [3] Calcium-silicate liner used as a pulp capping material. It is usually supplied as two pastes, a glycol salicylate and another paste containing zinc oxide with calcium hydroxide. On mixing, a chelate compound is formed.
The ideal luting agent is chosen depending on the type of materials used to fabricate the restoration. Zinc phosphate is used to place metal constructed restorations which are mechanically retentive. [16] The material is also suitable for cementing prefabricated or cast metal post-cores. [27] It can also be used to lute long span bridges. [1]
In dentistry, a crown or a dental cap is a type of dental restoration that completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. A crown may be needed when a large dental cavity threatens the health of a tooth.
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is an alkaline, cementitious dental repair material. MTA is used for creating apical plugs during apexification, repairing root perforations during root canal therapy, and treating internal root resorption. It can be used for root-end filling material and as pulp capping material.
There are various materials that can be used including a type of cement or stainless steel. [2] The cement crowns look like regular teeth while the stainless steel crowns are silver or gold. References
Medicaments are medications placed over the pulp to maintain survival and promote repair. Treatment options include: Indirect pulp capping (IPC) Direct pulp capping (DPC) Pulpotomy; Pulpectomy; Indirect pulp capping (IPC) is a treatment that leaves the deepest carious tooth material (dentin) next to the pulp undisrupted to avoid exposing the ...
