Keynote Address: Direct Pulp Capping with Calcium Silicate and its Consequences

Tricalcium silicate-based cements are considered as materials of choice for direct pulp capping due to their biocompatible and bioactive properties. The continuous improvement of these materials led to the development of dentin replacement materials such as Biodentine which has a reduced setting time and highly improved mechanical properties. Additional modifications led to the development of light-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate based materials.

During this conference, the interaction of tricalcium silicates with dentin and pulp tissues will be presented. This will be illustrated through different culture models of isolated human pulp fibroblasts, pulp stem cells, endothelial cells and entire human tooth cultures. The effect of tricalcium silicates on the interaction between different pulp cell populations leading to pulp/dentin regeneration will be presented. The consequences adding resins to tricalcium silicates will also be reported and explained.

This will allow a better understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the induction of mineralization and dentin bridge formation when tricalcium silicates are used in direct pulp capping.
