  • Title: Pulp response after calcitonin treatment of direct exposures in the dog.
    Author: Cullum DR, Kline LW.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1985 Aug; 60(2):218-23. PubMed ID: 3862029.
    Abstract:
    The hypocalcemic hormone, calcitonin, was used in directly pulp-capped teeth to determine whether or not calcitonin promoted healing. Two dogs were used. Twelve teeth received the calcitonin; nine control teeth were prepared, and five were treated with calcium hydroxide. Calcitonin did not increase either the rate of healing or the amount of secondary dentin formed. Calcitonin reduced the degree of inflammation in the treated tooth pulps.
