Abstract

Reversible pulpitis is a mild to moderate inflammatory condition of the pulp caused by a stimulus, and when the stimulus is removed, the pulp returns to normal. Reversible pulpitis can be caused by several factors, such as dental caries, thermal stimulation, chemical stimulation, and mechanical trauma during cavity preparation. Pulp capping is used to treat reversible pulpitis, which aims to protect the dental pulp by applying medicaments directly to the pulp, which functions to maintain pulp vitality and stimulate the formation of dentinal bridges. Pulp capping treatment is divided into 2 types, namely direct pulp capping performed on exposed pulp that has perforated due to iatrogenic factors, and indirect pulp capping performed on pulp that is not exposed and still has a thin layer of dentin. Calcium Hydroxide and Mineral Trioxideaggregate (MTA) are two commonly used medications that are directly applied to the pulp tissue. The main goal of pulp cap treatment is the formation of reparative dentin, which is formed from odontoblast cells and other pulp cells that indicate a reparative response of the pulp tissue. Odontoblast-like cells are produced from undifferential mesenchyme cells after death. The purpose of this paper is to determine the differences in the formation of odontoblasts in reversible pulpitis cases using Calcium Hydroxide and Mineral Trioxideaggregate (MTA) medicaments. This paper concludes that the two pulp capping medicaments can stimulate the formation of odontoblast cells with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) has the best rate of formation speed, followed by Calcium Hydroxide.
