Abstract
|
|
|
|
Vital pulp therapies (VPT) include indirect pulp capping, direct pulp capping, partial (superficial) pulpotomy and complete (cervical) pulpotomy. They have gained prominence in recent years for several reasons. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was developed at Loma Linda University in the 1990s as a root-end filling material. It was subsequently approved by the US Federal Drug Administration, and became commercially available as ProRoot MTATM. On account of the favorable clinical properties of MTA, various MTA products have been developed in Korean market recently, which are commercially available, such as, Ortho MTATM, ENDOCEM MTATM, Retro MTATM, ENDOCEM ZrTM, BIODENTINETM and EZ-sealTM. The primary objective of pulp therapy is to restore the structure and function of teeth affected by caries or traumatic injury. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of MTA-induced biomineralization in primary teeth, using various MTA as the vital pulp treatment material.
