“…The effect of various dental materials on the prognosis of pulp exposure has been evaluated in several studies. 27,[36][37][38][39] It is generally accepted that accidental pulp exposure offers more favourable prognosis when compared to carious pulp exposure. 40 Even the control of bleeding is a critical factor for the success of pulp capping.…”

Background: Permanent teeth pulp exposures have traditionally been treated with calcium hydroxide pulp capping. The aim of this study was to investigate the response of human pulp tissue which were mechanically exposed to a new material, Propolis and compare it with two existing and commonly used pulp capping agents (mineral trioxide aggregate and Dycal). Methods: Thirty-six intact human premolars were mechanically exposed. Teeth were divided into six groups of 6 teeth each and were capped with Propolis, mineral trioxide aggregate and Dycal. Final restoration was done with posterior composite resin using light cured glass ionomer cement as a liner. The teeth were then extracted on the 15th or the 45th day and processed for histological evaluation. Results: Differences in inflammatory response and dentine bridge formation of the exposed pulp to the three different materials were statistically calculated using chi-square test and were found to be non-significant. There was more pulp inflammation in teeth treated with Dycal than with Propolis and MTA on the 15th as well as on the 45th day. Propolis and MTA showed bridge formation in more teeth, and the bridges were in closer proximity to pulp capping material than teeth treated with Dycal on the 45th day. Conclusions: The response of pulps to Propolis as a pulp capping agent was comparable to MTA and Dycal.

“…In recent years, the use of the white (tooth-coloured) preparation has become more popular in incisor teeth due to the discolouration using grey MTA. [12][13][14] MTA is a powder that consists of fine hydrophilic particles that in the presence of water, or moisture, forms a colloidal gel that solidifi es to form hard cement within approximately four hours. The principal components of the grey-coloured formula are tricalcium oxide, tricalcium silicate, bismuth oxide, dicalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate, tetracalcium aluminoferrite and calcium sulfate dihydrate.…”

• Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was assessed in pulpotomised primary molars.• The clinical and radiographic success rate of MTA was recorded at 24 months follow-up.• This clinical trial study showed the success of white MTA in primary molars. I N B R I E F RESEARCHPurpose The aim of this study was to compare the effect of white mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to that of formocresol (FC) as pulp dressing agents in pulpotomised primary molars. Methods In this clinical trial study, 60 lower second primary molars of 46 children were treated by a conventional pulpotomy technique. The teeth were randomly assigned to the MTA (experimental) and FC (control) groups by random numbered table. Following removal of the coronal pulp and haemostasis, the pulp stumps were covered with an MTA paste in the experimental group. In the control group, FC was placed with a cotton pellet over the pulp stumps. The teeth of both groups were restored with stainless steel crowns. Children arrived for clinical and radiographic follow-up evaluation after 6, 12 and 24 months. Results The treated teeth in FC group (n = 18) were clinically and radiographically successful after 24 months. The radiographic follow-up evaluation revealed one failure (furcation involvement) in 18 molars treated with MTA after 24 months. The treated teeth in MTA group were clinically successful 24 months postoperatively. Pulp canal obliteration was observed in one of the teeth treated with MTA and four of the teeth treated with FC. Conclusion MTA could be used as a safe medicament for pulpotomy in cariously exposed primary molars and could be a substitute for FC.

“…Also, MTA is suggested to be superior to calcium hydroxide due to its more uniform and thicker dentin bridge formation, less inflammatory response and less necrosis of pulpal tissue 55,56,[58][59][60][61][62][63] . An antibacterial effect of MTA is controversial as reviewed by Parirokh and Torabinejad 64) .…”

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.
