PURPOSE: To obtain a dental pulp-capping agent used for therapies of dental caries, especially for the repairing therapy of teeth, utilizing the biological reactions of bone-forming proteins, and having a dentine-regenerating ability on the therapies.
CONSTITUTION: This dental pulp-capping agent enabling the formation of dentine contains a purified bone-forming protein as an active ingredient and, if necessary, a carrier having biodegradability, tissue compatibility and sustained releasability. When the pulp-capping agent is charged on the dental pulp-cut surface of a tooth cavity after the removal of a carious part, a large volume of dentine is formed on the dental pulp-cut surface to perfectly protect the left dental pulp, thereby enabling to provide a remarkable therapeutic method capable of keeping the original functions of teeth.
