Purpose:
To evaluate a modified Bioglass (Formula #68 (MBF68) when used as a pulp capping agent.
Materials And Methods:
After exposure, the pulps were contaminated with saliva for 60s, rinsed, dried and treated with Consepsis, acting as a hemostatic and bactericidal agent. After drying the Consepsis, the MFB68, having been pre-mixed in sterile saline, was carefully deposited over the pulp exposure, covered with polycarboxylate cement and restored with the ProBond bonding resin system. A calcium hydroxide group was used as control.
Results:
There was no evidence of mummification, the incidence of properly positioned dentin bridge formation was higher and the incidence of extruded dentin bridge formation was reduced.
