[A new lining material, B-tricalcium phosphate MG substitute]

Powder of not-sintered beta-tricalcium phosphate granules was used as capping material in deep cavities of monkey and human teeth. The authors have demonstrated by SEM with E-DAX the dispersion of beta-TCP in the dentinal tubules and in predentin. Histological sections didn't show any inflammation or degeneration of the pulp.
