Abstract:
A pulp capping material must perform as a barrier and protect the dental pulpal complex by inducing the formation of a new dentin bridge or dentin-like tissue. Being a favorable condition for the healing process, the apatite forming ability of TheraCal (light-curable Portland-dimethacrylate cement) and Dycal (calcium hydroxide-based) pulp capping materials was studied in two simulated body fluids, i.e. Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) and Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS). The cements were analyzed before and after soaking in these media for different times (1-28 days) by ESEM-EDX, micro-Raman and IR spectroscopy. This data article refers to "An in vitro study on dentin demineralization and remineralization: collagen rearrangements and influence on the enucleated phase" (Di Foggia et al., 2019).
