| Summary: | <p>Background. Dental pulp capping is a procedure that requires considerable cost. Therefore, substitute for dentin should be sought in order to reduce its price. Fish scales were usually thrown away without any further use, while they actually contains materials that were similar with bone, just like dentin. This makes fish scales a potential substituting component for cheap dental pulp capping due to their high level of availability and effectivity. This could help in overcoming tooth disease such as caries that is very often wasmet. Purpose Of Writing. This writing aimed to theoretically comprehend the use of fish scales as component of dental pulp capping. Benefit. Utilization of fish scales as component of dental pulp capping could offer solution to overcome dental caries by using cheap, effective and readily available material. Discussion. Chemical compounds found in fish scales were organic proteins (collagen and ichtylepidin) and mineral residue and anorganik salts such as magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate. Large components in fish scales were is water, protein, fat, and dusty. The content of fish scales were predicted to be able to stimulate dentin regeneration. Conclusion. Fish scales offered prospects in stimulating regeneration of odontoblast cells required for dentine regeneration.</p> |
