Material | Advantages | Disadvantages |
Calcium hydroxide | °Bactericidal effect °Acidity neutralized °Local Haemostatic | °Resorbable °low resistance °Drought of the dentin cells |
MTA | Marginal adaptation Biocompatibility °Low risk °Decrease in the number of treatment sessions | °Average clinical experience relatively high cost °Crown discoloration °long setting time (4 h) |
Biodentine | °Decrease in the number of treatment sessions °Product for capping and at the same time temporary crown restoration °No crown discoloration °Good sealing Biocompatibility °Reduced setting time /MTA | °Water contamination slows the setting Lower cost °Not enough clinical experience at this time |
CEM cement | Setting time less than 1 hour Handling in a wet environment possible Low failure rate | °Relatively high cost |
