The aim of vital pulp therapy is to preserve vital, healthy pulp tissue through pulp capping or pulpotomy. Pulp ⁃ capping materials are applied to isolate infection, promote odontoblast differentiation and reparative dentine formation during the progress. Calcium silicon ⁃ based materials play significant roles in vital pulp therapy with their favorable mechanical properties, bioactivity and biocompatibility. The present paper will review current progress for these novel calcium silicon⁃based materials used in vital pulp therapy.
