(57) [Summary] [Objective] To provide a pulp capping agent for treating dental caries, particularly dental restoration, in the dental field by utilizing the biological reaction of bone morphogenetic protein in the treatment of dental caries. To do. A dentinogenic pulp capping agent characterized by comprising a purified bone morphogenetic protein as an active ingredient and, if necessary, a carrier having biodegradability, histocompatibility and sustained release. [Effects] A large amount of dentin is formed on the pulp cutting surface by filling the pulp cutting agent of the present invention on the pulp cutting surface after removal of dental caries, and by completely protecting the residual pulp, the original tooth It enables an epoch-making treatment that preserves the function of. |
