Abstract
Introduction: The ability of the pulp to form reparative dentine is a mechanism that protects
pulp tissues from bacte- rial toxins diffusing from carious lesions. The amount of reparative
dentine produced is proportionally equal to the amount of dentine destroyed previously. The
factors that change dentine permeability includes alteration to the odontoblastic processes that
occurs in dentinal tubules and the lining of the tubules, the lamina limitans. Dentinal sclerosis
under caries lesion reduces the permeability, thus decreasing the quantity of irritants that are
introduced into the pulp
Materials and methods: The clinical records of 54 pulp capping cases during the period
between January 2020 and 1 March 2021 were . Total number of root canals done after pulp
capping were taken into account. Gender and age of the patients were also included in the study.
Results: From the above graphs it can be seen that majority of anterior maxillary pulp capping
were successful in male compared to females.Direct pulp capping involves the placement of a
medicated dressing on the pulp exposure and is indicated when a healthy pulp has been exposed
during an operative procedure or trauma. The tooth has to be asymptomatic, and the exposure
site has to be pinpoint and free of contamination
Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study it can be said that successful pulp capping were
mostly reported in indirect type in the upper anterior region.
