“…Although aqueous calcium hydroxide has been well-accepted clinically, it has drawbacks, including a lack of setting properties and gradual resorption after placement. Another disadvantage is porosities in the newly formed dentin, known as tunnel defects, which can result in microleakage and lead to the loss of tooth vitality and calcification 36) .…”

Direct pulp-capping is a method for treating exposed vital pulp with dental material to facilitate the formation of reparative dentin and to maintain vital pulp. Two types of pulp-capping materials, calcium hydroxide and mineral trioxide aggregate, have been most commonly used in clinics, and an adhesive resin has been considered a promising capping material. However, until now, there has been no comprehensive review of these materials. Therefore, in this paper, the composition, working mechanisms and clinical outcome of these types of pulp-capping materials are reviewed.

Aim: management of a clinical case with irreversible pulpitis for young adult molar with closed apices using analogous blood derivative PRF and evaluating the clinical and radiographic success for coronal pulpotomy. Summary: A 18 years old male patient reported to the screening clinic, was referred to endodontic clinic with acute pulpitis diagnosed in left first molar tooth. Deep occlusal caries involving pulp, with history of spontaneous lingering pain associated with sign and symptoms of pulpitis. Standard clinical care protocol was strictly implemented, rubber dam isolation was followed by coronal pulpotomy. Blood drawn from cuboidal vein. Platelet rich fibrin membrane placed over the remaining pulp and restored with MTA and finally with Glass ionomer cement. Follow-up results clinically and radio-graphically were encouraging and successful at day 1 to 24 months. No postoperative pain, the treated tooth responded to pulp sensibility test and radiographs revealed periapical healing. However, for standardization of the clinical procedure well designed research study is further needed.

“…VPT, namely direct pulp capping, partial pulpotomy, or full pulpotomy, should be performed only in teeth with reversible pulpitis with no periapical pathologies or in teeth with either mechanical pulp exposure or recently traumatic pulp exposure (Makowiecki et al 2014). In the case of pulp exposure, promoting healing of the pulp tissue and facilitating the formation of reparative dentin in order to preserve the pulp vitality and health are the main aims of the treatment (Aguilar & Linsuwanont 2011) In VPT procedures, the local irritants are removed and a protective material is directly or indirectly placed over the pulp (Akhlaghi & Khademi 2015). An overlying tight-sealed restoration is required after these treatments in order to decrease bacterial leakage from the restoration-dentin interface.…”

“…In most of the cases, the lack of knowledge of the dentist is a key factor in incomplete treatment of pulp disease. Untreated carious lesions involving the pulp lead to necrosis of the pulp which often affects the per-iradicular tissues accompanied with pain and discomfort for the patient (Aguilar & Linsuwanont 2011). The cariously exposed pulp is treated based on the maturity of the tooth.…”

The dental pulp is the living tissue of the tooth and its vitality is essential for long-term tooth survival. The vitality or non-vitality of the pulp as well as the presence or absences of a radicular pathology determine the type of pulp therapy. The knowledge of the dentist is important in selecting and carrying out a proper complete treatment. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess general dental practitioner`s (GDP) knowledge of indication, methods and prognosis of vital pulp therapy (VPT) for young permanent teeth (YPT). Method A total of 160 GDPs from dental clinics and offices in Kerman participated in this descriptive cross-sectional study. Data were collected using an initial questionnaire consisted of 15 items examining the knowledge and practice of indication, methods and prognosis of VPT for YPT among GDPs. The participants were asked to choose from the provided answers. Result of 160 questionnaires 154 were used for final evaluation.The overall obtained average score of the total items of the questionnaire was 4.53 ± 3.56. There was not any significant correlation between the knowledge of indication, examination, diagnosis, patients selection, effective factors in success of treatment and gender, number of the years since graduation and the university where the degree was obtained for VPT among GDPs. While knowledge of selecting the right materials for pulp-capping was significantly correlated with the number of the years since graduation and the university where the degree was obtained. Conclusion Although GDPs' level of knowledge in regard to VPT is not favorable, the time since graduation and place of education influenced the suitable material selection for pulp capping. Hence, GDPs, who perform pulp therapy , need to keep themselves updated with these procedures.
