| Research Abstract |
The dentin bridge formation was observed when a new calcium phosphate cement (CPC) that contained bioactive glasses was used as a pulp capping agent. And there was no significant difference in the ability of dentin bridge formation between the new CPC and a calcium hydroxide. Some apoptic cells were observed in the pulp during dentin bridge formation. It was suggested that about 60% of apoptic cells should be monocytes/macrophages, which contained TUNEL+ nucleus, and the rest should be pulp cells. The new CPC did not make a significant difference in the new bone formation compared with hydroxyapatite as a bone grafting material.
