ABSTRACT
Aim. The Aim Of Present Study Was To Investigate Pulp-dentin Complex Reactions Following Direct Pulp Capping (DPC) With Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), Silver Diarnine Fluoride (SDF) And Simvastatin.
Materials And Methods. Thirty-two Goat Incisors Were Randomly Allocated Into Four Groups.
Group I Was Directly Capped With MTA, The Dental Pulp In Group IT Was Directly Capped With SDF, While The Group III Capped With Simvastatin And Group IV Was Control Group Of Unprepared Teeth. All Teeth Were Restored With Glass Ionomer Filling. After 3 Months, Goats Were Sacrificed And Teeth Were Extracted Then Processed For Histological Examination And Categorized In Terms Of Hard Tissue Formation And Pulp Inflammation.
Results. Teeth In Group I And III Had Statistically Favorable Outcomes In Hard Tissue Formation And Pulp Inflammation (p:50.001). Teeth In Group IT Showed Significantly Lower Rates Of Hard Tissue Formation And Higher Rates Of Pulp Inflammation And Necrosis Compared To Other Groups
Conclusion. For Capping Pulp Exposure, Healing With Hard Tissue Formation And No Inflammation Occurs Following MTA And Simvastatin Treatment In A Higher Rate Than SDF.
