Exploring the Innovative Cockle Shell-Derived Pulp Capping Material: A Breakthrough in Dental Science

Posted: December 17, 2024
The article investigates a novel pulp capping material derived from cockle shells, named C-Cap, comparing its physical, chemical, and biological properties with traditional materials Dycal and Life. C-Cap exhibited lower solubility, higher flow, alkalinity, and calcium ion release. It showed superior biocompatibility with human dental pulp cells, promoting cell viability, migration, and mineralization. The study highlights C-Cap's potential as a tricalcium silicate-based pulp capping material with favorable properties for dental applications.
