Can I eliminate my direct or indirect pulp capping step with 100 % assurance of tertiary dentin development stimulated by the Protect Bond system?
No. While there is preliminary studies demonstrating that Protect Bond stimulates tertiary dentin development when a considerable amount of residual dentin thickness exists in the final preparation to be restored, the same investigators have found that the Protect Bond system does not stimulate dentin bridging after a direct pulp capping procedure. Further research is necessary to completely understand Protect Bond’s stimulatory effects on odontoblasts in a physiological system.
