Delayed Versus Immediate Placement of Direct Resin Composite Restorations Following Vital Pulp Therapy with ProRoot® Mineral Trioxide Aggregate or Biodentine™: A Review of the Literature
The quality of final restoration is one among other important factors that should be considered for successful outcome of vital pulp therapy (VPT) because inadequate coronal seal can allow bacterial penetration reaching to the pulp tissue, resulting in failure of VPT. Resin composite has been one of the most commonly used direct intra-coronal permanent restorations, whereas calcium silicate-based cements (CSCs), especially ProRoot® MTA and BiodentineTM, are currently recommended as the pulp dressing materials of choice for VPT. However, resin composites could not be immediately and directly placed as final restorations following VPT with ProRoot® MTA or BiodentineTM because of prolonged setting time of these two cements. Moreover, the suitable time elapsed for the placement of resin composites over these two cements were still controversial. Therefore, this literature article reviewed the previous in vitro and clinical studies related to direct resin composite restorations following VPT with ProRoot® MTA or BiodentineTM.
