Direct pulp capping with a self-etching adhesive and calcium hydroxide on human pulp / 实用口腔医学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the human pulp response following direct pulp capping with Clearfil SE BOND (SB). Methods:45 sound human third molars in 24 volunteers were used. Pulp of 41 molars was mechanically exposed and then the teeth were divided into two groups: in group A the pulp was capped with SB, in group B the pulp was capped with calcium hydroxide (CH), another 4 teeth were served as the control. After 7, 30 and 90 days, the teeth were extracted and processed for light microscopic examination. Results:7-30 days after capping slight inflammatory reaction was observed in group A and group B. The reaction in group A was sligter than that in group B(P
