Development of New Methods and Materials for the Restoration of Tooth Pulp

Abstract

Nowadays, the latest treatment technologies are actively developing in dental practice, namely for the restoration of tooth pulp. Aim: to evaluate the advantages of using modern materials in the treatment of tooth pulps. Materials and Methods: We examined 33 patients with pulp diseases: 18 women (54.5%) and 15 men (45.5%) with an average age of (33.2±2.3) years. 18 patients (group I) had conservative treatment; 15 patients (group II) got pulp restoration using Biodentin. Results: In 33 (100 %) patients of both groups, inflammation of tooth pulps was found; in 5 of 18 (27.8 %) patients of group I and 6 of 15 (40.0 %) patients of group II, the presence of fibrous pulpitis without signs of periodontitis was determined, in patients of group II, 4 of 15 (26.7 %) - acute diffuse pulpitis. Streptococci with α-haemolytic activity, staphylococci and fungi of the genus Candida albicans were detected in the plaque. In 93.3% of patients, both clinical and overall success was achieved with Biodentin, and the frequency of isolation of microorganisms of the genus Streptococcus spp. with α-haemolytic activity and Candida albicans decreased. Conclusions: Effective pulp restoration, inflammatory process reduction, and conditionally pathogenic microflora suppression were found in patients treated with Biodentin. © (2023), (Lifescience Global).
