The maintenance of healthy pulp tissue and the prevention of apical periodontitis form the basis of minimally invasive dentistry. Although, the dental pulp exhibits an array of strategies to protect itself against irritation, the conservative management of the exposed pulp has traditionally been unpredictable. Recent dental biomaterial advances, as well as an evolving understanding of molecular biology and regenerative medicine have led to the development of new treatment strategies for the exposed pulp. Although calcium-silicate cements now represent the gold standard capping material, but stimulate repair non-specifically and have some practical limitations.
