Abstract
In this study, we combined diagnostic and therapeutic agents in order to developed a theranostic pulp capping agent with enhanced MRI and CT contrast and improved dentin regeneration ability. In our study we cover all the steps from material preparation, mechanical and in vitro characterization, to in vivo study in a goat dental model. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a theranostic pulp capping material have been developed and tested in an in vivo animal model. Our promising results in term of imaging contrast enhancement and of induction of new dentin formation, open a new scenario in the development of innovative dental materials.
