Calcium Hydroxide, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and Biodentine (Trademark) as Direct Pulp Capping of Permanent Teeth

Summary

Background: Dental caries is considered an oral health problem worldwide. In Chile the last national epidemiological study (2007) showed a national prevalence of dental caries in children 6 years (70.3%) and 12 (62.5%). Direct pulp capping is a preventive dental therapy, keeps the vitality of the tooth using some inductive materials mineralized tissue formation. Objective: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two innovative direct pulp capping materials; Biodentine compared MTA and calcium hydroxide in the maintenance of pulp vitality in teeth permanent molars.
