A pilot study is described in which the exposed pulps of molar teeth of normal laboratory rats were capped with various metallic compounds in general medical usage. There appeared to be no relationship between the response obtained and the pH of the compounds studied. Aluminum powder, aluminum hydroxide, Aludrox, aluminum oxide, light magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, and titanium dioxide gave poor results. Barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, cupric oxide, ferric oxide, heavy magnesium oxide, and stannic oxide merited more detailed study.

A study is described in which six metallic compounds identified in a previous pilot experiment were tested as pulp-capping agents using the exposed rat molar. Barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, cupric oxide, ferric oxide, and heavy magnesium oxide gave poor results. Stannic oxide gave more favorable results and is being studied further.
