<p>Pulp Capping: An Updated Understanding<br>LT Geoffrey McMurray, DC, USN, CAPT Terry Webb, DC, USN, CAPT Patricia A. Tordik, DC, USN<br><br>Introduction<br>Zander and Glass studied the use of calcium hydroxide on exposed pulps and observed the formation of a new odontoblastic layer and dentin bridge. Despite unpredictable outcomes, this publication evoked an interest in the pulp’s ability to repair. Considerable progress has been made regarding knowledge of the dental pulp, the pulp’s response to caries and novel biomaterials. The aim of this clinical update is to make recommendations for pulp capping procedures based on contemporary scientific evidence.
