An Experimental Study on the Effect of the "Heliosit" Composite Resin to Pulp Tissue

Heliosit복합레진이 치수조직에 미치는 영향에 관한 실험적 연구

The experimental study was made to investigate the effect of the "Heliosit" composite resin on the dental pulp. The 36 class V cavities were prepared on the healthy permanent teeth of 3 days, and were divided into 5 groups and filled with the experimental filling materials. Control group: Zinc Oxide-Eugenol cement filling Experimental groups: Group 1: Dentin Adhesit application & Heliosit filling with or without dycal base Group 2: Heliosit filling with or without dycal base Group 3: Durafill filling with dycal base Group 4: Hipol filling with dycal base Animals were sacrificed after 1 weeks, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks following operation. The teeth were decalcified, sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The results obtained form this study were as follows: 1. All experimental group showed slight pulp response. 2. Dentin Adhesit group showed minimal pulp response in both dycal bases and no base cases. 3. In group 2, mild pulp response was found in early stage and repairing process was found as the time elapsed. In no base cases, healing process was delayed slightly. 4. There was little difference in the result among Heliosit group, Durafill group and Hipol group.
