ABSTRACT
Calcitonin, the hormone produced by C cells of the thyroid playing a great role in calcium homeostasis, was used for direct and indirect pulp capping. This procedure was done on 200 teeth. Late follow-up after 12, 18 and 24 months or even longer was obtained in 146 cases: 110 with indirect pulp capping and 36 with direct capping. In the first follow-up examination 7 cases were regarded as failures, in late follow-up 5 failures were found, thus the total failure rate was 3.8%. The usefulness of calcitonin for biological treatment of pulp is unquestionable.
