- Abstract
The studies so far conducted by our colleagues in relation to dental pulp capping using adhesive resins revealed that the adhesive resins are useful for capping exposed pulps but are a little slower to take effect on the injured pulp tissue during the initial stage: u to 90-days after pulp exposure, compared with calcium hydroxide and its preparations. In the present study, an experimentall developed adhesive resin system was applied in direct pulp capping and restoration and the healing process was examine histopathologically and immunohistochemically. The resin system was manufactured with calcium phosphate added into the bondin material for the purpose of accelerating the healing process. The largest amount of reparative dentin was formed by SE5 (whitlockit 5 wt%), followed by SE9 (hydroxyapatite 5 wt%, whitlockite 5 wt%), SE1 (hydroxyapatite 5 wt%), and SE2 (hydroxyapatite 10 wt% Generally, it could be said that the experimental groups using whitlockite and hydroxyapatite had the tendency to produce a larg amount of reparative dentin.
