Pulpal response to a new light-activated fluoride releasing liner.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of pulp irritation of a newly developed light-activated fluoride-releasing adhesive resin liner using canine teeth compared to the amount caused by a negative control, zinc oxide eugenol cement (ZOE), and a positive control, silicate cement (silicate). In the cases of unexposed pulp, this experimental liner showed none, slight or moderate pulpal changes at 3 d postoperatively. At 30 and 90 d, no pulpal response to the experimental liner was detected in almost all cases. These findings were similar to the ZOE and better than the silicate. There was less evidence of pulpal irritation produced by the experimental liner. This material seems to be safe to the pulp under the conditions of this study.[1]
