Abstract:
Direct pulp capping (DPC) includes covering the exposed pulp with a medication, dressing, or dental material to preserve its vitality. The idea behind this method of therapy is to induce the pulp to start a dentin bridge, "walling" the exposed site in the process. The most effective dental material to heal exposed pulp is calcium hydroxide. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) causes the formation by causing cytologic and functional alterations in pulpal cells. Rosuvastatin shows pleiotropic effects like increased odontoblastic differentiation, increased mineralization, proliferation of odontoblasts, and induction of angiogenesis. Thus, the aim of the present study is to investigate pulp-dentin complex reactions following DPC with rosuvastatin vs MTA as pulp-capping materials in permanent human molars.
