Title: Biologic materials for pulpal vitality

Abstract:

Recent developments in resin technology have propelled the introduction of hydrophilic resins for the evolution of therapeutic dental products. These resins allow for the addition of biologic components in order to positively influence the pulpal health. One such innovative product is marketed as TheraCal LC. Currently being introduced to the dental marketplace is TheraCal PT, a dual cured resin based dicalcium silicate. Besides being very pulpally kind by preserving cell vitality, these new materials encourage dentin bridge formation, preserve the dentin hybrid layer and resorptive processes are hindered. In addition, these materials provide a more durable base upon which to place the restoration.
