Effect of Polydopamine on Bonding Characteristics of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate to Resin Composite.

Objective: The success of vital pulp therapy is crucial to preserve the integrity of the teeth and to enable an uninterrupted root formation in a young permanent tooth. This warrants placement of an intact permanent seal immediately in contact with the pulp capping material. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) sets by hydration and deters placement of an immediate permanent resin composite restoration over it.
