Pulpal response to a fluoride-releasing all-in-one resin bonding system

Pulp tissue reactions to a fluoride-releasing all-in-one resin bonding system (Reactmer Bond and Reactmer Paste) in non-exposed monkey teeth were histopathologically evaluated at three, 30, and 90 days after restoration. No serious inflammatory reactions of the pulp, such as necrosis or abscess formation, were observed. At 90 days in the Reactmer group, odontoblastic change and inflammatory cell infiltration were not observed, and slight irritation dentin formation was formed. The pulpal response of the Reactmer group was minimally different from that of the control group. Consequently, the Reactmer system was determined as being biologically compatible with vital pulps.
