Purpose: to evaluate the biological response of the dog teeth to Platelets Rich plasma (PRP), Platelets Rich fibrin (PRF) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as pulp capping materials. Material and Methods: A total of 90 teeth of dogs were included. Class V cavities were prepared. Pulp exposure was performed in the middle of cavity floor. The teeth were divided into three groups of 30 teeth according to the material used; A1: PRP, A2: PRF and A3: MTA. Glass ionomer restoration was applied as restoration for the cavities. The tissue response to the materials was assessed at three different post-operative periods of 7, 30, 60 days. The animal was sacrificed. Histomorphometric analysis was performed. Result: the results showed high inflammatory cells count at 7 days for all treated groups; PRP treated teeth showed the highest at 7 days, while PRF showed the least. At 1 and 2 months postoperatively no significant difference was found between all the treated groups. For dentin bridge scores; there was no significant difference between all the materials at 7 days and 1 month. At 2 months; the MTA treated teeth recorded the greatest dentin bridge score as compared to all treated teeth.As for integrity of odontoblast score; results showed no significant difference between different materials at 7 days and 1 month. The MTA treated teeth showed the highest score as compared to PRP and PRF at 2 months. Conclusion: Among the three different materials, PRP and PRF appeared to be promising pulp capping agents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
