The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of 2 extracellullar matrix glycoproteins, fibronectin (FNC) and tenascin (TNC), following direct pulp capping with calcium hydroxide (CH). Third molars scheduled for extraction were used. Standardized class I cavities with pulp exposures were prepared. After control of bleeding, CH powder was applied in the exposure sites, which were covered with CH cement (Dycal; Dentsply) and the cavities were filled with zinc oxide-eugenol cement. Three teeth were extracted at each post-treatment period (1, 7, 14, and 30 days). Demineralized and paraffin-embedded specimens were stained for histologic technique (hematoxylin-eosin) and for immunohistochemical analysis. Anti-TNC and anti-FNC monoclonal antibodies were used with the streptavidin-biotin complex method. Generally, similar patterns of immunohistochemical expression were observed for TNC and FNC in the pulp tissue as a whole. In the exposure site, TNC immunostaining increased over time, exhibiting a thicker immunostaining pattern within 30 days. The imunohistochemical technique showed expression of both glycoproteins during pulp healing process.
