Bioplastics

70
Bioplastics derived from microbial processes present a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics. Among these, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), particularly polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs), have emerged as prominent candidates due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility. These polymers are synthesized by a variety of bacteria, such as Cupriavidus necator and Pseudomonas putida, which naturally accumulate PHAs as intracellular carbon and energy reserves, especially under...

Vital pulp therapy offers hope for tooth recovery, moving beyond the "doomed" organ concept. Newer pulp capping materials enhance the protection of the dentin-pulp complex, improving treatment outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Biomaterials
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • The traditional view of exposed pulp as irreversibly damaged is evolving.
  • Vital pulp therapy (VPT) aims to maintain pulp vitality and function.
  • Advancements in biomaterials have significantly improved VPT success rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and discuss current and novel pulp capping materials.
  • To highlight their role in protecting the dentin-pulp complex.
  • To provide an overview of materials enhancing VPT.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of scientific databases.
  • Analysis of studies on pulp capping material efficacy.
  • Synthesis of information on material properties and clinical applications.

Main Results:

  • Various pulp capping agents demonstrate potential for pulp healing and regeneration.
  • Newer materials offer improved biocompatibility and bioactivity.
  • Successful VPT relies on appropriate material selection and case management.

Conclusions:

  • Pulp capping materials are crucial for successful vital pulp therapy.
  • Continued research into novel biomaterials will further advance dentin-pulp complex regeneration.
  • The shift towards VPT reflects a more conservative and regenerative approach in endodontics.
