Pulp protection aims to maintain pulp vitality when it is exposed during dental procedures. Conventional direct pulp capping involves cleaning and drying the exposed pulp before placing a biocompatible material like calcium hydroxide over it. Newer materials like MTA, biodentine, and theracal are better at stimulating reparative dentin formation. Indirect pulp capping leaves caries near the pulp and seals it to prevent exposure. Factors like exposure size and patient age affect success rates. Lasers and stem cells may improve future pulp capping methods.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Microteaching is a unique model of practice teaching. It is a viable instrument for the. desired change in the teaching behavior or the behavior potential which, in specified types of real. classroom situations, tends to facilitate the achievement of specified types of objectives.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. Outline:
Pulp Irritants
Protection in shallow and moderate cavities
Pulp protection in deep cavities
Indirect pulp capping
direct pulp capping
Materials used for pulp protection
New Materials and mesthods to protect pulp
3. The dental pulp is a soft
connective tissue of mesenchymal
origin present within the pulp
chamber and root canals of teeth.
It is not considered an external
tissue, yet its exposure to external
stimuli is unceasing due to several
factors that make the pulp
extremely sensitive to environment
outside.
We have to protect it from any type of irritant
4. Pulpal irritants
A) Bacterial irritants
(Most common cause for
pulpal irritation)
B) Traumatic
1-Caries
Tooth fracture
Luxation
Avulsion
Parafunctional
habits like bruxism
2- Periodontal
pocket and abscess
1-Acute trauma 2- Chronic
Trauma
5. C) Iatrogenic:
1. During tooth preparation
a) Heat production during cutting procedures:
Pulp temperature 11°F Destructive reaction
Revolution per minute (RPM) of the bur: As RPM increases,heat production
increases. Speed must not exceed 3,000 rpm.
Pressure: It is directly proportional to heat generation.
Surface area of contact: The more the contact between the tooth structure and
revolving tool, the more is the heat generation
6. Excessive heat generation leads to change in
dentin color due to vascular stasis and
hemorrage in the subodontoblastic vascular
plexus present in the pulp
7. b) Pressure exerted:
Pressure of hand or rotary instruments Nuclear aspiration of odontoblasts
or nerve endings from pulp tissues into the dentinal tubulesDisturb
odontoblasts metabolism leading to their complete degeneration and
disintegration.
c) Remaining Dentin Thickness (RDT)
9. 4. Use of chemicals
Temporary & permanent fillings, bases, liners, and use of alcohol
that leads to pulpal injury due to its cytotoxicity, acidity, heat
formed and marginal leakage
Chemical irritants applied to dentin can result in
damage and disorganization in the subadjacent pulp
13. Conventional methods
Direct pulp capping is placing a
biocompatible material over the
exposed pulp to maintain
vitality and promote healing.
Direct Pulp Capping
WHY?
1) To maintain the vitality of the remaining pulp tissue
2) To prevent root canal treatment
3) To help conserve tooth structure
14. Indications
Recent small mechanical exposure of
pulp during (< 24 hours):
a) Tooth preparation
b) Traumatic injury.
No or minimal bleeding at the
exposure site.
16. Clinical Procedure
3.When vital & healthy
pulp is exposed, check
fresh bleeding
2. Isolate the tooth
with rubber dam
1. Administer local
anesthesia
4. Clean the area with
saline solution
5. Dry it with a
cotton pellet
6. Apply calcium hydroxide
(preferably Dycal) over the
exposed area
17. 7. Give interim
restoration such as
zinc oxide eugenol
for 6 to 8 weeks
b) If not pulpotomy or
pulpectomy is requested
a) Remove the cement
to inspect the exposure
site. If secondary dentin
formation takes place
over the exposed site
restore the tooth
permanently with
protective cement base
and restorative material.
18. In indirect pulp capping, all caries are removed
except the ones that lie adjacent to the pulp.
Caries near the pulp is left in place to prevent
pulp exposure and preparation is enclosed with a
biocompatible material.
Indirect Pulp Capping
19. Indications
1. Deep carious lesion near the pulp tissue but not involving it
2. No mobility of tooth
3. No history of spontaneous toothache
4. No tenderness to percussion
5. No radiographic evidence of pulp pathology
6. No root resorption or radicular disease should be present
radiographically.
Root resorption
20. Clinical Procedure
It’s the same procedure as the direct pulp capping except that the
pulp is not exposed. A thin layer of dentin and some amount of
caries is left to avoid exposure.
Placement of calcuim hydroxide and zinc
oxide eugenol dressing after excavation
of soft caries
21. Factors affecting Pulp Capping success
1) Age of the patient: Due to vascularity of the pulp, young patients have
greater potential for success than older ones
Young patient Old patient
2) Type of exposure: Mechanically done pulpal exposure has better prognosis than
exposure caused by caries, due to less pulpal inflammation and deleterious effect of
bacterial toxins on the pulp
22. 3) Size of the exposure: In large exposures, it is difficult to control the
hemorrhage and tissue seepage. Small pinpoint exposures are easy to
manage and have a greater potential for success
4) History of pain: If previously pain has not occurred in the tooth, the
potential for success is more
23. Recent methods
Laser in pulp capping
Mechanism:
CO2 laser emits an
infrared beam
Stimulates mineralization
in dental pulp cells
Therapeutic
benefit for direct
pulp capping
and pulpotomy
in clinical
practice
25. Ether or
chloroform
Organic
copalResin
gum
Solvent
evaporates
Definition:
It is an organic copal or resin gum
suspended in solutions of ether or
chloroform.
When we put it on the tooth surface the
organic solvent evaporates leaving a
protective film
Two coats of varnish should be applied
using a small cotton pellet to ensure
sufficient wetting of cavity walls
A) Varnish
26. Indications
To seal the dentinal tubules
Dentinal
tubules
Open Dentinal
tubules
Sealing dentinal
tubules with varnish
Dentinal tubules
blocked by varnish
2. Protects the tooth from
chemical irritants from cements
reducing postoperative pain
3. Reduces microleakage
around restorations
1. Prevents discoloration of tooth
with an amalgam restoration by
preventing migration of ions into
the dentin
27. Under Composite
Resin
Varnishes dissolve in the
monomer of the resin &
also interfere with their
polymerization of resins
With Glass Ionomer
Restorations
It interferes the bonding
of tooth to these cements
Contraindications
28. B) Sealer
Indications
• To seal dentinal tubules
• To treat dentin hypersensitivity.
An adhesive sealer is commonly
used under indirect restorations.
For application, cotton tip
applicator is used to apply sealer
on all areas of exposed dentin.
C) Liners
• Fluid materials that can adapt more
readily to all aspects of a tooth
preparation
• Used to create a uniform, even
surface that aids in adaptation of
more viscous filling materials
(amalgams, composites)
• Do not have sufficient thickness,
hardness and strength not used
alone in deep preparations
1. Protect pulp from chemical irritants
by sealing ability
2. Stimulate formation of reparative
dentin.
Indications
29.
30. 1. Zinc oxide eugenol liners
• Used to alleviate pain from mild-to-
moderate inflammation of pulp.
In low concentration it acts as
obtundant
In high concentration it acts as
chemical irritant
Contraindication:
It inhibits polymerization Should not be used under bonding
agents & composite restorations
31. 2- Calcium hydroxide
Most common agent considered as the
“gold standard” of direct pulp capping
materials against which new materials
should be tested
Advantages:
1. Causes dentin mineralization by activating the enzyme ATPase
2. Stimulates reparative dentin formation
3. Biocompatible
4. High pH (12.5) neutralizes acidity of silicate and zinc phosphate
cements
Disadvantages:
1. Low strength
2. High solubility Dissolves rapidlyUsed over small areas requiring pulp
protection / Applying glass ionomer or zinc phosphate base to prevent its
dissolution.
34. 4- Glass ionomers
Renewable source of
fluoride under
restorations
Reduce the
incidence of
caries
Fluoride
Glass ionomer cements (GIC):
Bond to tooth structure
Act as a thermal barrier
Ability to bond in a moist environment
Easy to use.
Anticariogenic.
35. Light-cured resin-modified glass
ionomers (RMGIs)
Provide good adhesion to both tooth
structure and restorative materials
High strength
Flexible (low modulus of elasticity)
Dual-setting reaction:
1) Light-activated, methacrylate
crosslinking reaction
2) Slower, delayed, acid-base
reaction
Which gives RMGIs an additional
period of maximum flexibility to absorb
stress from the adjacent shrinking
composite.
36. Classification of bases
Protective
bases
Sedative bases Insulating bases
They protect the
pulp before
restoration is
placed
They help in calming the pulp
which has been irritated by
mechanical, chemical or
other means
They protect the
tooth from thermal
shock.
D) Bases
Bases should have sufficient strength so that they can withstand
forces of mastication and condensation of permanent
restorations.
37. Excellent
sealing quality.
Bacteriostatic
in nature.
Anodyne
effect.
Reduces the thermal
conductivity of
metallic restorations
Blocks undercuts in
the preparation wall
in case of cast
restorations.

40. Biodentin
Biodentine is a calcium-silicate based material, it has been used in various
clinical applications:
Advantages:
Biocompatible so no pulp inflammatory
responses
Can be used wherever dentin is damaged
Outstanding sealing properties
Used as base or liner under composite
restorations
Adequate compressive and flexural strength
Creates faster dentin bridges
Better properties than glass ionomer and
calcium hydroxide
Radio opacity for following up

47. Why is MTA better than Calcium Hydroxide?
MTA Calcium hydroxide
VS.
1. Rapid cell growth promotion in vitro
2. Greater ability to maintain the integrity of pulp tissue
3. Thicker and rapidly formed dentinal bridge
4. Less hyperemia
5. Lower level of necrosis
48. Caster Oil Bean (COB) Cement
Histological sections
comparing the rate of
regeneration between
calcium hydroxide and
COB indicating that the
regeneration is faster with
COB
The castor oil bean (COB) (Ricinus communis) is a polyester formed by an amino radical
which was initially developed as a biomaterial for bone repair and regeneration after local
bone injury.
Advantages:
Confers bactericidal effect
Has biocompatibility with living tissues.
It has great potential to facilitate tissue
healing
Excellent structural properties,
Low cost
Good physicochemical properties
49. Thercal
2) Composition:
Tricalcium silicate particles in a hydrophilic monomer that provides significant
calcium release making it a uniquely stable and durable material as a liner or base.
3) Mechanism:
Calcium release stimulates hydroxyapatite and secondary dentin bridge formation
4) Indications:
Any pulpal exposures (carious exposures, mechanical exposures or traumatic
exposures )
1) Characteristics:
TheraCal is a light cured, resin modified
calcium silicate filled liner designed for use in
direct and indirect pulp capping, as a protective
base/liner under composites, amalgams,
cements, and other base materials.
51. Why is Thercal better than MTA & Calcium Hydroxide?
MTA Calcium hydroxideThercal
VS.
Higher calcium releasing ability
Lower solubility than either MTA or Calcium Hydroxide due to
the capability of TheraCal to be cured to a depth of 1.7 mm
which avoids the risk of dissolution.
52. Clarity on the biology of caries, comprehension of technological advances
and conviction about enhanced restorative products has initiated pulp
preservation that indeed is a benefit to the clinician and the patient.
Science is a mystery that we won’t ever stop trying to reveal
its secrets so what’s the next material we’ll discover?
