Evaluation of techniques and material used in pulpal therapy based on a review of the literature: part II.
A healthy and functional dental pulp is the goal of any treatment procedure, but at present there does not seem to be any material that will regularly induce dentinal bridge formation and healing of an exposed, inflamed pulp. The usefulness of various capping agents, including corticosteroids and isobutyl cyanoacrylates, is interpreted. In determining treatment, all the clinician's experience is needed in correlating clinical evidence, history, size of the filling in relation to the tooth crown and periodontal condition.
