Overview

Long-term study compares physicochemical properties of light-cured capping materials and hydraulic cement, indicating superior performance of hydraulic cement.

Key Points

  • This study aims to compare the physicochemical properties of five light-cured pulp capping materials with hydraulic calcium silicate cement.
  • Cylindrical specimens of each material were stored in Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution at 37 °C.
  • After specified immersion periods, pH, conductivity, solubility, and surface properties were analyzed.
  • Statistical analyses included Fisher exact test, 2-sample t test, and 1-way ANOVA.
  • Biodentine showed a significantly higher pH than the light-cured pulp capping materials at all time points (P < .05).
  • Hydroxyapatite-like structures formed on Biodentine after 7 days, not observed in light-cured materials.
  • Energy dispersive x-ray analysis revealed higher calcium levels on Biodentine's surface compared to light-cured materials (P < .05).
