OBJECTIVE This study assessed the human pulp response after adhesive restoration of cavities by indirect pulp capping with a conventional or a resin-modified glass ionomer cement. METHODS Deep cavities prepared in 26 human premolars were lined with Riva Light Cure (Riva LC), Riva Self Cure (Riva SC), or Dycal, and then restored with composite resin. Four teeth were used as intact control. After time intervals of 7 or 30 days, the teeth were extracted, processed for histological evaluation of the pulp, and the remaining dentin thickness (RDT) between the cavity floor and the pulp was measured. RESULTS At 7 days, a slight pulp inflammation associated with discrete tissue disorganization was observed in most of t the teeth lined with Riva LC and Riva SC. Moderate pulp inflammation occurred in one tooth lined with Riva LC. Bacteria were identified in one specimen of the same group that exhibited no pulp damage. At 30 days, slight pulp inflammation and discrete tissue disorganization persisted in two specimens treated with Riva LC, in which a thin layer of tertiary dentin was deposited. Mean RDTs ranged from 383.0 to 447.8 μm. CONCLUSIONS Riva LC produced more damage to the pulp than Riva SC. However, the initial pulp damage decreased over time and after 30 days both GICs were labeled as biocompatible. CONCLUSIONS In this study conducted with human teeth, the conventional and the resin-modified glass ionomer cements investigated were shown not to cause post-operative sensitivity or persistent pulp damage when applied as liners in very deep cavities, thereby indicating their biocompatibility.

D007249 Inflammation A pathological process characterized by injury or destruction of tissues caused by a variety of cytologic and chemical reactions. It is usually manifested by typical signs of pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function. Innate Inflammatory Response,Inflammations,Inflammatory Response, Innate,Innate Inflammatory Responses
D008903 Minerals Native, inorganic or fossilized organic substances having a definite chemical composition and formed by inorganic reactions. They may occur as individual crystals or may be disseminated in some other mineral or rock. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed; McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Mineral
D002126 Calcium Hydroxide A white powder prepared from lime that has many medical and industrial uses. It is in many dental formulations, especially for root canal filling. Hydroxide, Calcium

D003731 Dental Caries Localized destruction of the tooth surface initiated by decalcification of the enamel followed by enzymatic lysis of organic structures and leading to cavity formation. If left unchecked, the cavity may penetrate the enamel and dentin and reach the pulp.

D003782 Dental Pulp A richly vascularized and innervated connective tissue of mesodermal origin, contained in the central cavity of a tooth and delimited by the dentin, and having formative, nutritive, sensory, and protective functions.

D003793 Dental Restoration, Permanent A restoration designed to remain in service for not less than 20 to 30 years, usually made of gold casting, cohesive gold, or amalgam.

D003804 Dentin The hard portion of the tooth surrounding the pulp, covered by enamel on the crown and cementum on the root, which is harder and denser than bone but softer than enamel, and is thus readily abraded when left unprotected.

D005899 Glass Ionomer Cements A polymer obtained by reacting polyacrylic acid with a special anion-leachable glass (alumino-silicate). The resulting cement is more durable and tougher than others in that the materials comprising the polymer backbone do not leach out.
