title: Effects of materials used in pediatric dentistry on the pulp: a review of the literature.
abstract: This paper reviews a selection of materials used in treating children's teeth. Often, the success of the material is determined by its effect on the underlying pulp tissue, either by virtue of its direct effect or in its ability to prevent ingress of contaminants. The materials reviewed will include some of those used for cavity liners, bases, restorations, pulp capping, and pulpotomies.
