Bioactive Ion Release Dynamics of Novel Bioceramic Pulp Capping Materials and Their Influence on Tertiary Dentin Architecture

Abstract

Bioceramic pulp capping materials have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional calcium-based agents due to their enhanced bioactivity and biocompatibility. This study investigates the bioactive ion release dynamics of novel bioceramic pulp capping materials and their influence on tertiary dentin architecture. Emphasis is placed on the controlled release of calcium, silicon, and phosphate ions and their role in modulating pulp cell behavior and mineralization processes. The interaction between ion release profiles and dentin–pulp complex responses is examined, highlighting mechanisms that promote odontoblastic differentiation and organized tertiary dentin formation. Findings suggest that sustained bioactive ion release contributes to improved dentinal bridge quality, structural integrity, and reduced inflammatory response. These outcomes underscore the potential of novel bioceramic materials to enhance pulp healing and long-term restorative success.
