Q

What ideally do we want materials used for indirect pulp capping and direct pulp to be?

A
  • Bacteriocidal / static
  • Mildly irritant to pulp to stimulate tertiary dentine bridge formation (usually via pH change)
  • Adhesive to bond and seal
  • Not dissolve away over time
  • Infiltrate ionically into remaining dentine overlying pulp so strengthening /reinforcing it
  • Biocompatibile with pulp and overlying restorative material
