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.%活髓保存治疗是通过盖髓或牙髓切断术的方式,保存牙髓活力的治疗方法.盖髓材料在此过程中发挥隔绝感染、促进成牙本质细胞分化、形成修复性牙本质的重要作用.钙硅材料以其优良的机械性能、生物活性、生物相容性在活髓保存治疗中发挥重要作用.笔者就近年来在活髓保存治疗中应用的新型钙硅材料的研究进展作一综述.
