Comparison of the Effects of TheraCal LC and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate on Direct Pulp Capping (DPC) Based on Histological Findings

Abstract

Background: Direct pulp capping can conserve its vitality by placing materials that promote dentin bridge (DB) formation at the exposure site. This study aimed to determine whether TheraCal LC could produce a layer of reparative dentin. It also compared the histological differences between treatment with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and TheraCal LC.
