COLOGNE, Germany: Deep caries is the most common reason patients visit the dentist, and one in three patients present with a deep cavity. Pulp exposure is always a risk in cases of deep caries, and so pulp vitality should be preserved at all costs.

When a deep cavity is close to the pulp, accidental pulp exposure can occur during caries excavation and compromise pulp vitality. How can pulp vitality be preserved?

The first way to preserve pulp vitality is to avoid pulp exposure by using the minimal intervention dentistry approach for caries removal, and the second way is to choose the right restorative material. This material must stop the progression of the carious lesion and preserve pulp vitality by stimulating reparative dentine. It should increase the distance between the final restoration and the pulp–dentine system and create a barrier effect. If the dentine layer is very thin, this is especially important for reducing the risk of cytotoxicity and bacterial microleakage.

The ideal material has the following qualities: biocompatibility; high remineralisation, ideally of both affected and infected dentine; and outstanding sealing, mechanical and antibacterial properties. Biodentine XP has all these essential features, making it the material of choice for managing deep caries. Biodentine XP offers all Biodentine’s science with the eXPerience you expect, such as:

all-in-one cartridges which make the practitioner’s daily procedures easier and offer the choice of two formats (XP 200 and XP 500) to suit the procedure, depth of cavity and quantity needed;
Biodentine Mixer with high-speed rotation for easy and perfect mixing; and
Biodentine Gun for direct placement in the tooth.

Thanks to the unique features of Biodentine, such as outstanding sealing and mechanical properties, combined with the ease of use of Biodentine XP, the whole procedure is easier, from product preparation to dispensing. Biodentine XP can be used as a bulk fill material, enabling filling of the cavity from the pulp to the top of the tooth with just one material. With Biodentine XP, fast, easy and successful deep caries treatment can be achieved in just one session.
