Article Synopsis
- Vital pulp therapy (VPT) and direct pulp capping (DPC) are common procedures in veterinary dentistry for treating dental fractures and trauma in dogs.
- This review systematically evaluates the effectiveness of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) compared to other materials used for VPT in dogs, analyzing nine relevant studies.
- Results show that MTA generally performs as well or better than alternatives, but inconsistencies among studies limit reliability; future research should standardize scoring systems and study design for clearer comparisons.
