In this series of cases, twenty human third molars that were scheduled for extraction were used. After cavity preparation, pulp exposure was achieved and Portland cement pulp capping was performed. Teeth were extracted after 1, 7, 14 and 21 days following treatment and prepared for histological examination and bacterial detection. Each group had 5 teeth. The results were descriptively analysed. Dentin bridge formation was seen in two teeth with some distance from the material interface (14 and 21 days). Soft inflammatory responses were observed in most of the cases. Bacteria were not disclosed in any specimen. PC exhibited some features of biocompatibility and capability of inducing mineral pulp response in short-term evaluation. The results suggested that PC has a potential to be used as a less expensive pulp capping material in comparison to other pulp capping materials. 3 17 2009 31 35 TODENTJ-3-31 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2008-2-29 2008-5-8 2009-1-23 2009-3-17 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 10.2174/1874210600903010031 1553505037 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/3/PAGE/31/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V3/TODENTJ-3-31/TODENTJ-3-31.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V3/TODENTJ-3-31/TODENTJ-3-31.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V3/TODENTJ-3-31/TODENTJ-3-31.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V3/TODENTJ-3-31/TODENTJ-3-31.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V3/TODENTJ-3-31/TODENTJ-3-31.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V3/TODENTJ-3-31/TODENTJ-3-31.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V3/TODENTJ-3-31/TODENTJ-3-31.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V3/TODENTJ-3-31/TODENTJ-3-31.xml Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Stanley HR 68 628 1989 Stanley HR.
