These materials show varying degrees of inflammation, ranging from moderate to mild, which may diminish over time. Other experimentally developed materials were also studied, either alone or in combination with conventional products; these materials demonstrated promising potential to reduce inflammation and superficial necrosis associated with conventional products. However, they still do not meet all the criteria for ideal pulp-capping materials and need further development for commercialisation.
