Which of the following materials is the most ideal for indirect pulp capping?
Correct Answer: Calcium hydroxide
Description: Calcium hydroxide remains the standard material for pulp capping of normal vital pulp tissue; it can possibly stimulate the repair reaction. A hard-setting calcium hydroxide capping material should be used. If the tooth is small (such as a first primary molar), hard-setting calcium hydroxide may also be used as the base for the restoration. Some studies have shown successful results with direct capping of exposed pulps with adhesive bonding agents, whereas others have reported pulpal inflammation and unacceptable results with this technique.
