Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the properties of a calcium-doped zinc oxide paste compared to calcium hydroxide, focusing on cytotoxicity, radiopacity, pH, and penetration in dentinal tubules.
- ZnO:1.0Ca pastes demonstrated lower cell viability and pH levels than Ca(OH), but offered superior radiopacity and deeper dentinal tubule penetration.
- Overall, while ZnO:1.0Ca showed advantages in radiopacity and penetrability, Ca(OH) maintained higher cell viability and pH levels.
Aim: To analyse the discolouration, radiopacity, pH and calcium ion release of Biodentine (BD), Bio-C repair (BCR) and Bio-C temp (BCT), as well as their biological effects on human dental pulp cells (hDPCs).
Methodology: Sixty-four extracted bovine incisors were prepared to simulate crown fractures with pulp exposure and open root apex. The roots were filled using a mixture of agar and blood (control), and BD, BCR or BCT were placed over this mixture.
