The present experiment was undertaken with aim to study pulpal cell response and the onset of reparative dentin formation after capping by application of calcium hydroxide and hydroxylapatite on mechanically exposed pulp. An ideal direct pulp capping material would maintain the vitality and function of the dental pulp, form a dentine bridge, have appropriate mechanical properties and adhesion to dentine in order to prevent microleakage. Neither calcium hydroxide nor hydroxylapatite had completely satisfied these requirements, although Hap can be recognized as a superior alternative to calcium hydroxide.
