Abstract

Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is performed to treat teeth affected by deep caries, trauma, or restoration-induced perforations. Synthetic bioactive materials (non-biologic materials), including Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, and Bioaggreates cement are commonly used in this procedure. The limitations of MTA were long setting times, difficult manipulation processes, and discoloration. Biodentine is characterized by low radiopacity, difficulty in obtaining optimal consistency, and high costs, while bioaggregate cement has an extended setting time, which can impact the success of the therapy. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the use of fishbone, an abundant biological waste and a natural biomaterial as a treatment alternative. Fishbone contains biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP), a key component in bioactive material synthesis for dentistry. The results showed that BCP had excellent properties such as calcium ions release to stimulate odontoblastic activity, osteointegrative, osteoinductive, and excellent bioactive. Additionally, the production of this material is cost-effective, safe, and less complicated. Considering these advantages, fish bone with BCP can be an excellent alternative for VPT.   Keywords: Vital Pulp Therapy, Marine Fish Bone, Biphasic Calcium Phosphate

Abstract

Cavity cleanser is characterized by low toxicity, biocompatible, and antibacterial properties. It has the ability to remove the smear layer and inhibit the matrix metalloproteinase enzyme. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of 2% nano-chitosan oligosaccharide gel as a cavity cleanser on dentin resin attachment using ethanol-water and acetone solvent adhesives with dry and wet-bonding techniques. A total of 48 upper premolars with class I restoration were divided into eight treatment groups. Four groups were treated with 2% nano-chitosan oligosaccharide gel combined with ethanol-water or acetone solvent adhesives, while the other four received 2% chlorhexidine digluconate with the same adhesives. In the process, both bonding techniques were applied. Microleakage was assessed by measuring the penetration of 2% methylene blue dye into samples cut mesiodistally through a stereomicroscope with 1x magnification and given a score of 0-3. The results showed that the 2% oligosaccharide nano-chitosan gel group with ethanol-water solvent adhesive using the wet-bonding technique (0.33 ± 0.516) had the lowest microleakage score. Additionally, the Kruskal-Wallis test presented significant differences between the four treatment groups (p<0.05).

Abstract

Background: During instrumentation and irrigation, the composition of the dentin structure can be dissolved. Currently, the most widely used irrigation and chelating material are EDTA, which has the disadvantage of causing dentin erosion which reduces the hardness of the dentin, so that oligosaccharide chitosan is developed, which is more biocompatible and easier to manipulate as an irrigant material. This study aimed to evaluate whether there was a change in the concentration of calcium ions after treatment with chitosan oligosaccharide gel and EDTA gel using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Materials and Methods: For 32 mandibular premolars, instrumentation, and irrigation were performed, and then chelation material was divided into two groups, namely the group with 2% chitosan oligosaccharide and 15% EDTA gel chelation material. Then the calcium ions in both groups will be measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Results: There was a significant difference in calcium ion loss in root canal dentin after applying 2% chitosan oligosaccharide gel chelating agent and 15% EDTA gel at different times for 5 minutes, p-value = 0.021 (p0.05). Conclusion: 2% oligosaccharide chitosan can be a chelating agent when developed as a gel, affecting calcium ion loss. The 2% chitosan oligosaccharide resulted in the lowest average loss of calcium ions.
