Abstract

A method of direct pulp capping of a tooth including administering a dental composition comprising betamethasone and gentamicin onto an exposed pulp of a tooth, and covering the dental composition present on the tooth with a glass ionomer cement. The dental composition is administered in an amount effective to form a calcification over the exposed pulp. A dental composition having betamethasone, gentamicin, and optionally including a Portland cement. The dental composition is administered to an exposed pulp of a tooth to form a calcification over the exposed pulp.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A dental composition comprising:
 a betamethasone;   a gentamicin; and   a Portland cement;   wherein the dental composition forms a calcification over an exposed pulp when administered to the exposed pulp of a tooth.   
     
     
         2 . The dental composition of  claim 1 , wherein the dental composition is in the form of a cream, a gel, or a paste. 
     
     
         3 . The dental composition of  claim 1 , wherein the dental composition comprises a weight percent of betamethasone of 0.01%-0.2% relative to a total weight of the dental composition. 
     
     
         4 . The dental composition of  claim 1 , wherein the dental composition comprises a weight percent of gentamicin of 0.05%-0.2% relative to a total weight of the dental composition. 
     
     
         5 . The dental composition of  claim 1 , wherein the calcification is a dentin bridge with a thickness of 2 μm-80 μm. 
     
     
         6 . The dental composition of  claim 1 , wherein the Portland cement comprises at least two compounds selected from the group consisting of tricalcium silicate, dicalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate, tetracalcium aluminoferrite, gypsum, calcium oxide, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, and ferric oxide. 
     
     
         7 . The dental composition of  claim 6 , wherein the dental composition comprises a weight percent of Portland cement of 10%-25% relative to a total weight of the dental composition.
