Under appropriate indication selection and treatment procedures, long-term success is possible in mature permanent teeth with carious pulp exposure by DPC using iRoot BP Plus. Patient age and operator...
Clinical data on iRoot BP Plus as a pulp capping medicament in mature permanent teeth with carious pulp exposure is lacking. This study indicated the efficacy of BP in DPC. Younger patient and sophist...
This investigation aimed to observe the effects of Dycal, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and TheraCal LC, as indirect pulp-capping materials in primary molars....
About 75 children with lower primary molars aged between 4 and 7 years suggested for IPC were selected and randomly allocated into: Group I - Dycal, group II - MTA, and group III - TheraCal LC. An imm...
There was a statistically significant increase in dentin thickness in the first 3 months compared to the 6-month follow-up. At the end of the research phase, TheraCal LC had more tertiary dentin depos...
TheraCal LC can be a reliable indirect pulp-capping agent in primary teeth....
Indirect pulp capping (IPC) is a very extensively employed treatment regimen to manage extensive caries. For many decades, calcium hydroxide has been regarded as the benchmark of pulp capping material...
The present research study assessed the cell viability and cytotoxic effect of mineral tri-oxide aggregate (MTA), Tetric N-Bond Universal bonding agent, Theracal PT (pulpotomy treatment), and platelet...
To determine the clinical performance of light-cured calcium silicate-based cement for direct or indirect pulp capping. The research question was as follows: in teeth with deep caries lesions, does th...
The following databases were screened until September 2021: PubMed, Web of Science, Scielo, Scopus, Embase, and The Cochrane Library. Randomized clinical trials reporting the clinical evaluation of a ...
Ten studies were considered for qualitative analysis and meta-analysis. Studies evaluating the performance of light-cured calcium silicate-based cement from 1 month to a maximum follow-up period of 36...
Light-cured calcium silicate-based cement showed a limited clinical performance as a direct pulp capping agent, especially when evaluated in the long term. However, using it as an indirect pulp cappin...
This systematic review provides evidence that supports the use of light-cured calcium silicate-based cement as an indirect pulp capping agent....
Direct pulp capping (DPC) procedures require the placement of a bioactive material over an exposure site without selective pulp tissue removal. This web-based multicentered survey had 3 purposes: (1) ...
The questionnaire comprised 3 sections. The first part comprised questions regarding demographic features. The second part comprised questions on how treatment plans change according to factors such a...
A tendency toward more invasive treatment was observed for the clinical scenario with carious-exposed pulp (RR = 2.86, 95% CI: 2.46, 2.32; P < .001) as opposed to the clinical scenario with 2 pulp exp...
While carious-exposed pulp is the most important factor in clinical decisions regarding DPC, the number of exposures has the least impact. Overall, complete caries removal was preferred over selective...
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 th...
Direct pulp capping (DPC) is a conservative approach for preserving tooth vitality without requiring more invasive procedures by enhancing pulp healing and mineralized tissue barrier formation. We inv...
To assess clinically and histologically the efficacy of TheraCal LC and Biodentine as Direct Pulp Capping agents....
Sixty caries-free maxillary first premolar teeth which were scheduled for orthodontic extraction were selected for the study and were divided equally into Group 1 (Theracal LC) and Group 2 (Biodentine...
Teeth with Theracal LC showed no sensitivity to heat, cold, or percussion, whereas sensitivity to heat, cold, or percussion was noted with Biodentine. Histological evaluation revealed that TheraCal LC...
TheraCal LC proves to be a promising future as a direct pulp capping agent....
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immunohistochemical effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) on the mineralization rate of the reparative dentin when it is used as a mixing medium with mineral tri...
Direct pulp capping (DPC) was performed on 90 teeth from 10 dogs that had been experimentally exposed. The exposed pulps were divided into three groups according to the mixing medium with MTA: Group I...
Both types of HA (HCC-HA, HMW-HA) showed an increase in the expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) at a higher rate than using distilled water with MTA....
Within the limitations of this study, HA proved to be an effective additive to MTA for DPC....
This study aimed to assess pulp survival in a randomized trial on pulp lavage in adult nonpainful posterior teeth with carious pulp exposure. The treatment included complete caries excavation, direct ...
Fluid was collected from the pulp wound to assess matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and total protein values. Before pulp capping, cavities were randomly (block randomization, n = 48) washed with a p...
From the 96 patients originally enrolled, 73 individuals could be followed continuously. The clinical observations indicated a beneficial and sustained effect of pulp lavage with 2.5% NaOCl over a con...
The low 4-year success rates reported here challenge the concept of direct pulp capping in the cases that were included. NaOCl lavage did not only increase the survival of affected pulps substantially...
