— Previous studies have shown that neither Tubulitec® nor Dropsin® produced serious changes in the dental pulp when used as liners under amalgam restorations. In the present investigation, based on 136 monkey teeth, the composite materials Addent Concise® and Adaptic® were shown to induce harmful inflammatory reactions in about one third of the teeth. Tubulitec reduced this irritative response significantly but not totally. The protective effect demonstrated from a Dropsin lining was inferior to that provided by Tubulitec.
