Direct pulp capping using calcium hydroxide shows a high success rate in permanent teeth, though it decreases over time. Proper patient selection and restorative materials are key for long-term outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Dental Materials Science

Background:

  • Direct pulp capping is a dental procedure to preserve pulp vitality.
  • Calcium hydroxide is a common capping agent, but its long-term efficacy requires evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the success rate of calcium hydroxide-based direct pulp capping in permanent teeth over a 9-year period.

Main Methods:

  • 1,075 permanent teeth underwent direct pulp capping with a calcium hydroxide agent.
  • Inclusion criteria focused on healthy or reversibly inflamed pulps with small exposures (<2 mm²).
  • Teeth were restored and followed for up to 9 years.

Main Results:

  • The success rate was 80.1% at 1 year, decreasing to 58.7% by 9 years.

  • Factors like the extent of tooth surface damage and the type of definitive restoration significantly impacted survival rates.

    • Conclusions:

    • Direct pulp capping with calcium hydroxide is a viable treatment option.
    • Success is contingent upon appropriate patient selection and the use of suitable restorative materials.
