Sažetak
Vital pulp therapy is defined as a treatment which aims to preserve and maintain healthy pulp tissue that has been compromised but not destroyed by trauma, caries, or restorative procedures in a healthy state. This is particularly important in the young adult tooth with incomplete apical root development. The process of successfully treating vital pulp depends on many factors, and primarily on the proper choice of material. In the last two decades, there has been an increasing interest in the development of materials that are biocompatible, bioactive, non- cytotoxic and that encourage the formation of a dentin bridge. Today, materials that promote remineralization and stop the demineralization of hard dental tissues are available. Pulp capping or vital pulp pulpotomy rely upon an accurate assessment of the pulp status, and careful management of the remaining pulp tissue. Control of hemorrhage is an important key to enhance the success rate of vital pulp therapy. The most important factors in predicting pulpal responses to vital pulp therapy are then on toxicity and the sealing ability of material. The necessary characteristics of materials for successful direct and indirect treatment of vital pulp and their role in the dentin mineralization process will be presented.
