[The use of a calcium phosphate ceramic in treating deep caries]
Abstract:
Clinical examinations of 36 teeth with deep caries were carried out in patients aged 16 to 38. Therapy with hydroxyl apatite and tricalcium phosphate was carried out and with calmecine for control. Additional methods for objective examination were assessment of pulp electric excitability and of dentin electric conduction. Repeated examinations of patients 1 and 6 months after treatment showed that hydroxyl apatite and tricalcium phosphate normalized the function of the pulp, caused remineralization of dentin in the bottom of carious cavity, and were effective in the treatment of deep caries.
