Abstract
Direct pulp capping (DPC) is one of the treatment plans for deep caries with mechanical pulp exposure that can replace invasive treatments. This study aimed to assess the apatite-forming ability and solubility of a calcium phosphate cement (CPC) modified with bioactive glass (BG) as a potential bioactive material for DPC.Three different biomaterials including CPC, BG, and CPC/BG composite were used in this study. For bioactivity evaluation, specimens were immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 5 time periods (3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days). The samples were analyzed by SEM, EDS and XRD to confirm the formation of hydroxyapatite. The solubility was calculated by measuring the initial and final mass according to the ISO 6876 specifications.According to the results of this study, SEM observations and XRD analysis revealed higher formation of hydroxyapatite crystals in the CPC/BG Group and also at the shorter time than those in the CPC and BG groups. Concerning solubility, the CPC group showed the most solubility after 7 days and the BG group showed the lowest one. At this time the difference between CPC and BG groups was statistically meaningful (p value=0.003). After 30 days the CPC/BG group exhibited the lowest solubility value. At the day 30, the CPC and BG groups showed significant difference in their solubility (p value=0.04).).Based on the results, addition of BG to CPC improved bioactivity properties of CPC material and did not affect its solubility adversely. The CPC/BG composite seems to be a promising material for DPC. Further in vivo studies are needed to prove its clinical success.
