    Calcitonin, a thyroid hormone crucial for calcium balance, shows high success rates in direct and indirect pulp capping procedures. This biological treatment for dental pulp has a low overall failure rate of 3.8%.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Dental Biology
    • Regenerative Dentistry

    Context:

    • Dental pulp capping is a vital procedure to preserve pulp vitality.
    • Calcium homeostasis is regulated by hormones like calcitonin.
    • Investigating novel biomaterials for pulp regeneration is an ongoing area of research.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of calcitonin as a biomaterial for direct and indirect pulp capping.
    • To determine the long-term success rate of calcitonin in pulp capping procedures.

    Summary:

    • Calcitonin, a hormone involved in calcium homeostasis, was used for direct and indirect pulp capping in 200 teeth.
    • Follow-up data from 146 cases (110 indirect, 36 direct) over 12-24 months showed a total failure rate of 3.8%.
    • The study demonstrates the effectiveness of calcitonin in biological pulp treatment.

    Impact:

    • Calcitonin presents a promising biological approach for pulp preservation.
    • The low failure rate suggests calcitonin's potential as a reliable dental therapeutic agent.
    • This research supports the use of endogenous hormones in regenerative endodontics.
