The disastrous effects of the "total etch" technique in vital pulp capping in primates.
Am J Dent
January 1998
University of Connecticut SDM, Farmington 06030, USA.
Purpose: To determine by means of a histopathological study in sub-human primates whether etching of an exposed pulp (the "Total Etch" technique) followed by capping with dentin bonding agents is a viable clinical treatment modality.
Materials And Methods: In six sub-human primates, 147 Class V preparations were made for five experimental and two control groups. After exposing the pulps, the preparations were intentionally contaminated, rinsed, dried and then disinfected with a 2% chlorhexidine solution for 60 s.
Significance of pulpal pressure during clinical bonding procedures.
Am J Dent
October 1997
University of Connecticut SDM, Farmington 06030, USA.
Purpose: To determine whether pulpal pressure in vital teeth plays a significant role in dentin bonding procedures.
Materials And Methods: Half the teeth in three baboons received root canal treatment thus eliminating pulpal pressure. All teeth were then prepared on the buccal surface with a diamond wheel to create flat surfaces into dentin, measuring at least 4 mm in diameter.
