Answer 1

J Endod 2010 JUL;36(7):1222-5

Question 2

2. Purpose of study?

Answer 2

to evaluate the direct pulp capping response to a novel resin-based calcium phosphate cement (RCPC)

Question 3

3. Materials and Methods:

Answer 3

• dog and ferret teeth used
• novel resin-based calcium phosphate cement (RCPC) compared to a visible light cured resin-modified calcium hydroxide material (VLCCH) as control.
• Used over healthy and inflammed pulps

Question 4

4. Results:

Answer 4

• most RCPC in healthy and inflamed pulps had healing and repair
• teeth with VLCCH material had minimal healing and repair

Question 5

5. Conclusions:

Answer 5

direct pulp capping of ferret and dog teeth with RCPC was associated with better healing than VLCCH
