Abstract

Statement of Purpose: Dental pulp trauma, especially in deep carious lesions, is a formidable challenge in clinical dentistry. The use of calcium hydroxide has had a long clinical history as a biocompatible liner and hermetic restorer. Other options include Mineral Trioxide aggregate and nanocalcium silicate that are often still very expensive. A new class of smart dental biomaterials and biotechnologies are enabling regenerative dentistry.1 The use of low dose laser treatments, termed Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, has been shown to promote dentin formation.2 Ruthenium [Ru(bipy)3]2+ is a red-emitting chromophore (620nm) that absorbs strongly at (450 nm) blue light, a wavelength commonly used for light curing dental composites.3.
