Study Overview
Brief Summary
Direct pulp capping technique is one of the oldest known treatments for exposed pulp tissue, and there is a continuous requirement for the most efficient materials to be used in this approach. Successful pulp capping is the usual way to preserve the vitality of tooth and avoid root canal treatment or surgical tooth extraction.
