tissue engineering Flashcards
what are the advantages and disadv of CaOH pulp capping?
- excellent antibacterial properties
2) induces min of dentin - low cytotoxicity
disadv:
- high soluble in oral fluids
- subject to dissolution
- presence of funnels in reparative dentin
- lack of adhesion
what are the adv and disadv of ZOE as a pulp cap?
adv:
1. reduces inflammation
disadv:
- lack of calcfic bridge formation
- release eugenol inhigh conc–>cytotoxicity
- interfacial leakage
what are the adv and disadv of corticosteroids and abx for pulp capping?
adv:
1. reduces pulp inflammation
2. vancomycin and CaOH stimulate more reparitive dentin
disadv:
1. should not be used in pts with risk from bacterimia
what are the adv and disadv of polycarboxylate cements as pulp capping material?
adv:
1. chem. bonds to tooth
disadv:

- does not stimulate calcific bridge formation
what are the adv and disadv of inert materials like ISOBUTYL CYANOACRYLATE and CaPO3
adv:
1. reduces pulp inflammation
2. stims dentin bridge formation
disadv:
1. not viable bc of lack of technique
what are the adv and disadv of collagen as a pulp cap mateiral?
adv:
1. less irritating, promotes mineralizatiopn

1. does not help in thick dentin bridge formation
describe calcium phosphate as a pulp cap material
adv:
- helps in bridge formation with no superficial necrosis
- no inflammation
