Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the in-vitro antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, and mineralization-inducing potential of Biodentine® XP. Methods: Four contemporary pulp capping materials, namely Dycal®, a calcium hydroxide, Theracal® LC, a resin calcium silicate and, tricalcium silicates namely Biodentine®, and Biodentine® XP were compared in the study. The antibacterial activity of the pulp capping materials included in the study was evaluated against Streptococcus mutans UA159 and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and were determined by the direct culture test. The biocompatibility of these materials in preodontoblastic 17IIA11 cells were compared by the MTT assay and mineralization-inducing potential in …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, and mineralization-inducing potential of calcium silicate-based pulp capping materials. Methods: Six contemporary calcium silicate-based pulp capping materials were compared in this study, including ProRoot MTA, MTA Angelus, Biodentine, EndoSequence, NeoMTA 2 and NeoPutty. The antibacterial effects of these materials against Streptococcus mutans UA159 and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 were determined by the agar-diffusion assay and the direct culture test. The biocompatibility and mineralization-inducing potential of these materials in preodontoblastic 17IIA11 cells were compared by the MTT assay and by evaluating alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium deposits, respectively. …

The purpose of this project was to compare the chemical, physical, and antibacterial properties of right contemporary direct pulp capping materials. The material categories included in this study were calcium hydroxide (Dycal, Lime-Lite and Ultra-Blend plus), calcium silicate (MTA Angelus, Biodentine, TheraCal LC), calcium aluminate (Ceramir Protect LC), and resin ionomer (Bio-Cap). Calcium release and pH changes were measured via a calcium ion-selective electrode (Vernier Company) and pH sensor (Vernier Company) respectively, after specimens were immersed in 36.8oC deionized water for 1, 7, 28 and 90 days. Water solubility was calculated with weight loss of the specimens from 0 to …
