Study Notes
Pulp Capping Materials
- TheraCal, Biodentine, and MTA are used in pulp capping to protect the pulp from bacteria and seal the exposure.
- Biodentine and MTA are often used in direct pulp capping and indirect pulp capping procedures.
- MTA (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) is considered the most biocompatible material, followed by Biodentine, and then TheraCal.
- TheraCal, Biodentine, and MTA are classified as calcium silicate-based cements.
- These materials are used in the pulp chamber of the tooth.
- Biodentine is typically used in direct pulp capping, while MTA is more commonly used in indirect pulp capping and perforation repair.
- Calcium silicate-based cements promote biocompatibility and dentinogenesis, leading to better pulp healing and reduced risk of complications.
