“…() performed histological analysis of pulpal response after using MTA, PC and calcium hydroxide on pulpotomy of human primary teeth. Teeth treated with PC exhibited hard tissue barrier and pulp calcification, demonstrating that PC may be considered effective in repairing pulpotomized primary teeth, because hard tissue barrier formation represents pulp tissue repair (Barbosa et al ., ). Other investigations affirm that pulp calcification results of odontoblasts activity, suggesting pulp vitality (Moretti et al ., ; Oliveira et al ., ).…”

“…Calcium hydroxide induces mineralization and provides excellent antimicrobial activity due to its high pH. Similarly, PC promotes pulp tissue repair by the formation of hard tissue barrier, maintaining the pulp vitality and absence of tissue inflammation (Holland et al ., ; Menezes et al ., ; Shayegan et al ., ; Barbosa et al ., ; Oliveira et al ., ). The tested PCs of this study seem to stimulate hard tissue barrier formation and preserve the connective tissue integrity.…”

The objective of this research was to evaluate the response of Portland cement associated with different radio pacifying agents on pulp treatment of human primary teeth by clinical and radiographic exams and microscopic analysis. Thirty mandibular primary molars were randomly divided into the following groups: Group I - Portland cement; Group II - Portland cement with iodoform (Portland cement + CHI3 ); Group III - Portland cement with zirconium oxide (Portland cement + ZrO2 ); and treated by pulpotomy technique (removal of a portion of the pulp aiming to maintain the vitally of the remaining radicular pulp tissue using a therapeutic dressing). Clinical and radiographic evaluations were recorded at 6, 12 and 24 months follow-up. The teeth at the regular exfoliation period were extracted and processed for histological analysis. Data were tested using statistical analysis with a significance level of 5%. The microscopic findings were descriptively analysed. All treated teeth were clinically and radiographically successful at follow-up appointments. The microscopic analysis revealed positive response to pulp repair with hard tissue barrier formation and pulp calcification in the remaining roots of all available teeth. The findings of this study suggest that primary teeth pulp tissue exhibited satisfactory biological response to Portland cement associated with radio pacifying agents. However, further studies with long-term follow-up are needed to determine the safe clinical indication of this alternative material for pulp therapy of primary teeth.

Dental pulp response to collagen and pulpotec cement as pulpotomy agents in primary dentition: A histological study

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction:As the search for a better biocompatible medicament is on, aim of the present study was to evaluate the pulpal response to collagen particles impregnated in antibiotics (Biofil-AB™) and new commercially available cement (Pulpotec) that can be used as pulpal medicament.Materials and Methods:Total sample of 40 teeth from 20 children in the age group of 7-10 years which are noncarious having bilateral retained primary teeth were enrolled for the study. Nine teeth each were treated with collagen particles (group I) and Pulpotec cement (group II), and the remaining samples were discarded due to various reasons. Both groups were randomly subdivided into three teeth each that were extracted after 7, 15, and 30 days intervals and examined histologically.Results:Moderate to severe inflammatory cells with newly formed blood vessels and disorganized odontoblastic cell layer was observed in group I after all three intervals with dentinal bridge formation in two specimens. On contrary, none of the specimens in group II showed any signs of inflammation, but there was a discontinuity in the odontoblastic layer lining along the dentin walls.Conclusion:Both materials were proven to be promising alternatives as pulp medicaments. However, collagen was found to be a better material.

“…At present, MTA appears to be a promising candidate as an alternative to CaOH (42)(43)(44)(45). Portland cement also has a potential to be used as a less-expensive pulp capping material in comparison with MTA (46). It has been claimed that bioactive molecules (i.e.…”

Recent trends in the management of dentoalveolar traumatic injuries to primary and young permanent teeth REVIEW ARTICLE BackgroundOne of the commonly encountered dental emergencies is dentoalveolar traumatic injuries (DTIs). Unfortunately, DTIs result in fractured, displaced, or lost anterior teeth and this could have significant functional, esthetic, speech, and psychological effects on children thus affecting their quality of life (1). Although it is impossible to guarantee permanent retention of a traumatized tooth, patient age, severity of injury, and timely treatment and follow up of the tooth using recommended procedures can maximize the chances for success (2,3). This review examines the recent trends in the management of DTI to primary and young permanent teeth. Electronic search of scientific papers from 1990s to 2009 was accomplished using Pub Med search engine. The inclusion criteria were English language, publication year, experimental studies and review articles, the age of the study group, and the management technique. The search terms used were the following: dental, trauma, injury, primary teeth, permanent teeth, enamel infraction, crown fracture, crown-root fracture, root fracture, luxation, avulsion, and replantation. In addition, some text books and guidelines were used in this review. A proper definition of DTI is an injury that results from an external force, involving the teeth, the alveolar portion of the maxilla or mandible, and the adjacent soft tissues (4, 5). Different frequencies of DTI are reported in the literature, depending on the employed methodology, the type of dentition, and patients' age.The frequency of DTI is inversely proportional to age (6, 7). Several epidemiological studies investigated DTI in schoolchildren by means of clinical examinations and questionnaires, which might increase significantly the number of cases (8, 9). The number of DTI decreases significantly when epidemiologic studies are performed in a hospital environment (6,10). This is attributed to two reasons: minor dental injuries such as concussion and subluxation are not usually reported in hospital settings, and school-based studies usually involved large slice of the community in contrast to the limited hospital reported cases.The greatest occurrence of DTI to the primary dentition is when motor coordination is developing and children are more susceptible to falls (6, 11). Most injuries to permanent teeth occur secondary to falls, followed by traffic accidents, violence, and sports (6,(12)(13)(14). Boys are twice as likely as girls to report DTI and are much more likely to experience such trauma more than once (7). Children with special needs are in more danger of having trauma than others. This occurs more frequently in people who have intellectual disability, sensory impairment, attention-deficit/hypersensitivity disorder, seizures, abnormal protective reflexes, or muscle incoordination (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Occlusal relationship is another risk factor because the frequency of DTI is significant...
