Consists of a polymer (PEKK- Polyether- ketoneKetone) with hardness of 50 KHN, which was higher
than hardness of carious dentin(0-30KHN) but
lower than sound dentin (70-90KHN).

FINAL RESTORATION
The quality of the final restoration is critical to the longterm maintenance of pulp vitality and sustained normal
function of the pulp-capped or pulpotomized tooth.
The more conservative the restorative treatment,
preserving the remaining healthy tooth structure, the
higher the probability of pulp survival.
