    Abstract:
    A dentin primer incorporating an antibacterial monomer 12-methacryloyloxydodecylpyridinium bromide (MDPB) shows strong antibacterial effects, and may provide better prognosis for direct capping of infected pulp exposed by caries removal compared with conventional adhesives. However, influences of MDPB on healing of the pulp have not yet been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study was to compare the influences of unpolymerized MDPB on proliferation, differentiation and mineralization of odontoblast-like MDPC-23 cells with those of other resin monomers, Bis-GMA, MDP, TEGDMA and HEMA. The inhibitory effects of MDPB on the proliferation of MDPC-23 were lower than those of Bis-GMA. While MDPB strongly affected the differentiation compared with the other monomers, it was less inhibitory than Bis-GMA and MDP on the mineralization ability of odontoblast-like cells. These findings indicate that MDPB has superior biocompatibility than Bis-GMA in terms of hard tissue formation by odontoblastic cells, suggesting its possible less negative influences on dentinogenesis.
