The use of beta‐tricalcium phosphate, white MTA, white Portland cement and calcium hydroxide for direct pulp capping of primary pig teeth

Abstract

Beta-tricalcium phosphate, WMTA and WPC in primary pig teeth are as effective as Ca(OH)(2) in primary pig teeth capping.

The Effects of Hyaluronic Acid, Calcium Hydroxide, and Dentin Adhesive on Rat Odontoblasts and Fibroblasts

“…Products most often used for pulp capping are calcium hydroxide-based materials, glass ionomer cements, adhesive systems, and mineral trioxide aggregates (8)(9)(10)(11).…”

Direct Pulp Capping with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate: An Immunohistologic Comparison with Calcium Hydroxide in Rodents

“…Furthermore, using MTA for direct pulp capping eliminates some of the disadvantages of Ca(OH) 2 , eg, resorption of the capping material, mechanical instability, and subsequent inadequate long-term sealing ability as a result of leakage (7). Several histologic studies already compared the reaction of vital pulp cells when directly pulp capped with MTA or Ca(OH) 2 (3,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Most of these studies found MTA to be superior to Ca(OH) 2 (3,(8)(9)(10)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”

MTA in Vital Pulp Therapy

“…However, some authors have found no significant differences in pulp healing between the two substances (Queiroz et al 2005;Iwamoto et al 2006;Accorinte et al 2008b;Costa et al 2008;Sawicki et al 2008;Shayegan et al 2009;Dammaschke et al 2010c;Parolia et al 2010) (Table 4.1). These investigations demonstrate that MTA is equal or superior to CH salicylate ester cement or CH powder when used for direct pulp capping (Accorinte el al.…”

“…The positive effect of MTA when in contact with vital pulp tissue has been experimentally evaluated in several species and compared with CH: in humans (Aeinehchi et al 2003;Iwamoto et al 2006;Caicedo et al 2006;Accorinte et al 2008a, b;Min et al 2008;Nair et al 2008;Sawicki et al 2008;Mente et al 2010;Parolia et al 2010), monkeys (Pitt Ford et al 1996), dogs (Faraco Júnior & Holland 2001Dominguez et al 2003, Queiroz et al 2005Asgary et al 2008;Costa et al 2008), pigs (Shayegan et al 2009), and rodents (Dammaschke et al 2010c). These investigations show that from a histological perspective, CH and MTA generate comparable reactions in vital pulp tissue.…”
