Study of the Compatibility of New Biomaterials in Vital Pulp Therapy in Pediatric Dentistry

Abstract

Vital pulp therapy is an expanding concept in pediatric dentistry today thanks to the potential exhibited by new biomaterials to stimulate regeneration of the pulp cells. Biocompatibility, bioactivity and dentin-like physical properties, as well as good handling, fast setting and the possibility to fill large cavities with a single material are some of the ideal properties of materials aimed to heal traumatized and inflamed dental pulps, given by a good balance of their chemical components.
