Novel Study Shows Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP) Potential as Direct Pulp Capping Material for Immature Permanent Teeth

Posted: January 3, 2025
The study investigated the regenerative potential of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) as a direct pulp capping (DPC) material in immature permanent dog premolars. Histological and radiographic assessments revealed that SHMP showed superior properties compared to MTA in terms of predentin and odontoblastic layer thickness, dentin bridge formation, and dentinal tubule arrangement. Radiographically, SHMP led to a significant increase in root length. The findings suggest that SHMP could be a promising alternative for DPC in treating immature permanent teeth, offering better bioinductive and biocompatible properties.
