I- What is direct pulp capping?
Placement of a protective dressing directly over the
exposed pulp
Pulp exposed
3
No need for RCT
Why?
Saves the tooth and
Preserves vitality
Conservative treatment
4
o Healing/ Repair.
o Pulp’s vitality and function.
o Normal responsiveness to
electrical and thermal pulp tests.
o Preventing breakdown of the
peri-radicular supporting tissue.
oFormation of secondary dentine.

6
•Immature permanent teeth or
mature permanent teeth with
simple restorative needs.
II- Indications of direct pulp capping
7
Small pinpoint pulp exposure=1mm
•Recent traumatic (<24 h)/Mechanical pulp
exposure
8
•Little or no bleeding at the exposure site
9
•NO PULP
VITALITY
10
•No pulp calcification
11
•Adequate coronal restoration can be made
12
•Systematic diseases: diabetes, cancer…
III-Contraindications
•Inflammatory signs/ symptoms 13
•primary teeth root resorption
14
•Pre-operative
tooth sensitivity
15
•Large
pulp exposures
•Uncontrolled
bleeding
16
•Non-restorable tooth
or restorable with low
prognostic
Dentin Bridge
17
IV- Pulp capping materials
•Calcium Hydroxide Ca(OH)2
•Mineral Trioxide Aggregate MTA
•Tri-calcium phosphate
•Bioaggregate
•Biodentine
•Bonding Systems
18
•The most common direct
pulp-capping agent
•Antibacterial and
disinfects the superficial
pulp
•High pH (about 12.5)
Pure Calcium
hydroxide
Calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2:
19
How does Ca(OH)2 work??
•Liquefaction necrosis of the superficial pulp
•Neutralization of toxicity in deeper layers
•Coagulative necrosis…Irritation of adjacent
pulp
•Minor inflammation response… Hard tissue
barrier
20
•Pure calcium hydroxide are more
caustic than Hard-setting calcium
hydroxide pastes (Dycal, Life,…)
but both have been shown to
initiate the same type of healing
Properties:
21
• Dentin bridges beneath calcium
hydroxide pulp caps contain ‘tunnel
defects’, therefore an additional
base material is necessary to seal the
exposed pulp from the external
environment.
•Calcium hydroxide materials tend to soften, disintegrate,
and dissolve over time.
22
Mineral Trioxide Aggregate or MTA:
ProRoot To seal communications between
the root canal system and the
external tooth surface at all
levels and recently indicated in
pulp treatment as direct pulp
capping.
Dr M.Torabinejad

Composition:
•Tricalcium silicate
•Tricalcium aluminate
•Tricalcium oxide
•Silicate oxide
Mixed with sterile water in a 3:1 powder-to-liquid ratio,
MTA sets in 5 minutes
24
Application of MTA
25
•Low or no solubility
•PH value10.2 after mixing and rises to 12.5 after 3 hours
•Antibacterial effect
•Induces pulpal cell proliferation
•Stimulation of mineralized tissue formation

Properties:
26
Process not yet known
Tri-calcium oxide + tissue fluids = calcium hydroxide
Hard-tissue formation
How does MTA work??
27
•Rapid cell growth promotion in vitro
•Greater ability to maintain the integrity of pulp tissue
•Thicker dentinal bridge, less inflammation, less
hyperemia and less pulpal necrosis
•Induce the formation of a dentin bridge at a faster rate
•High ability to resist the penetration of microorganisms
•Limited antibacterial effect
(Mineral trioxide aggregate pulpotomies A case series outcomes assessment J Am Dent Assoc 2006;137;610-618)
MTA v/s calcium hydroxide
28
Tri-calcium phosphate:
- Bone regeneration procedures (promotes effects on
hard tissue formation by osteoblasts)
- Studies (by Heller) showed that dentinal bridge
formation does take place, by direct apposition, on the
pulpal wall
The bridge:
•Contiguous
•Thick
•Minimal pulpal inflammation
•Odontoblasts directly under and in contact with the
bridge

Other:
Bonding systems =
Sealing potential of resin adhesive systems
direct pulp capping
37
Resin adhesives Vs calcium hydroxide
•Less porous dentinal bridges = Better seal against bacterial
leakage
•Less pulpal inflammation
•Less successful (Pameijer and Stanley: ‘disastrous effects’
causing hemorrhage that was difficult to control)
•Less success rates with inflamed pulps (lack the inherent
haemostatic and bactericidal properties)
38
CH
•Stimulating sclerotic and reparative dentin formation due to
release some proteins and growth factors
•Protecting the pulp against thermal stimuli and antibacterial
action
•Inducing pulp tissue to form a mineralized barrier
•Biological and therapeutic potential (Material of choice)
V- Biocompatibility & Cytotoxicity of pulp
capping materials
39
MTA
•Abedi et al. (1996) MTA: less inflammation
•Pitt Ford et al. (1996): dentine bridge formation in all pulps
capped with MTA and no inflammation except in one sample
•MTA: excellent sealing ability (Torabinejad et al. 1993, 1994,
Bates et al. 1996, Fischer et al. 1998, Wu et al.1998)
• Excellent biocompatibility (Kettering & Torabinejad1995,
Torabinejad et al.1997, 1998, Holland et al. 1999, Mitchell et al.
1999, Keiser et al. 2000). Supposedly due to CH and
Hydroxyapatite formation

VII- Temporary or Permanent Filling?
What’s the best choice?
A permanent restoration seals the margin more
effectively than does a temporary restoration, thus
preventing or reducing the microleakage.
(Ahmad S. Al-Hiyasat, Kefah M. Barrieshi-Nusair,Mohammad A. Al-Omari: The radiographic outcomes of direct pulp-capping procedures performed by dental students A retrospective study)
46
The best Permanent filling process consists of
covering the pulp capping material with a RMGIC
followed by a hermetic composite resin
restoration to prevent bacterial leakage and
recontamination of the exposed area.
47
VIII- Prognosis of direct pulp capping:
Success rates range from 13% to 98% in one to 10 years retrospective
studies:
• Armstrong and Hoffman: 97.8% success rate after 1.5 years.
• Fitzgerald and Heys: 79% success rate after one year.
• Haskell and colleagues: success rate of 87.2% after five years.
• Barthel and colleagues: success rate of 37% after five years and 13%
after 10 years for 123 pulp-capping procedures performed by dental
students.
• Baume and Holz: The operator’s skill seems to be one factor that
influences the outcome of pulp-capping procedures
(Baume LJ, Holz J. Long term clinical assessment of direct pulp capping. Int Dent J 1981;31(4):251-60)

Mechanical exposure: Direct pulp capping + permanent restoration
to conserve the vital pulp.
Carious exposure: Avoid Pulp capping & opt for endodontic
therapy.
1. Type of Exposure:
51
An hermetic seal against bacterial infiltration is a must to guarantee the success
of the pulp treatment.
2. Type of Restoration:
52
The prevention or reduction in the microleakage reflects the higher success rate of
pulp capping in Class I restorations relative to that in the Class II, III, IV and V
and MOD restorations
3. Class of Restoration:
53
Periapical radiolucency and need for RCT
Need for extraction
Good to know: time devoted to the teaching of vital-pulp
therapy to undergraduate students < teaching of formal
endodontic treatments

1. Calcium Hydroxide:
•At the 7th day, the pulp tissue capped with Calcium
Hydroxide exhibited:
o Odontoblast-like cells organized underneath
o A zone of coagulation necrosis
• Pulp repair and apparent complete dentin bridge
formation after 60 days.
55
2. MTA® (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate):
• A comparative study of WMTA (White MTA) and
Calcium Hydroxide concluded that at the 136th recall
day:
o 23 teeth of 23 Capped with WMTA, were clinically
diagnosed as successful
as well as
o 22 teeth of 23 of the Calcium Hydroxide group.

3. Biodentine® (Tri-Calcium Silicate)
Applied in 116 patients with at least one year follow-up. It’s
very well tolerated and can be used as cavity lining with a
permanent composite restoration.

IX- New perspectives and future trends:
• Other innovative technical advances include the use of:
• Lasers
• Ozone technology
• Bioactive agents
that induce and stimulate pulpal defenses
•Gene-enhanced Tissue Engineering
•Dental Pulp Stem Cell Therapy:
o Potential to improve on conventional pulp-capping with calcium
hydroxide or other artificial materials.
o Ex vivo cell therapy may have an advantage and might result in
copious amounts of reparative dentin formation.
o Skin fibroblasts transduced with BMP7-adenovirus induce reparative
dentin formation (Rutherford, 2001)
o Techniques have to be established and optimized before cell therapy
with BMP2 can become a clinical reality for caries and endodontic
therapy.
