Pulpal response to a new light-cured composite placed in etched glass-ionomer lined cavities

Oper Dent. 1991 Jul-Aug;16(4):122-9.

Abstract

This study evaluated the pulp biocompatability of a new light-cured composite resin which was placed in etched glass-ionomer-lined cavities of monkey teeth. The pulpal response to this material was less than that to zinc-oxide eugenol cement in each observation period. Therefore this material seems to meet acceptable biocompatability standards in nonhuman primates.
