简要总结
Indirect Pulp Therapy (IPT) is a conservative treatment approach that preserves the vitality of pulp and promotes continued root development in young permanent teeth. Biodentine, a tricalcium silicate-based material, is currently the gold standard for IPT due to its biocompatibility, anti-inflammatory properties, and ability to induce dentin formation. However, there is growing interest in natural alternatives that enhance tissue healing and remineralization. Nanohydroxyapatite (nanoHA) closely resembles dentin’s natural composition, promoting calcium and phosphate deposition, while Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a green tea polyphenol, provides antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory benefits. The combination of nanoHA and EGCG offers a novel approach for pulp healing and dentin regeneration by reducing bacterial activity, preserving dentin bond strength, and minimizing nanoleakage. This study aims to evaluate the in vivo effectiveness of the nanoHA and EGCG mix as an IPT agent in young permanent teeth and compare its performance with Biodentine, the current superior bioactive material.
