Root maturation and dentin–pulp response to enamel matrix derivative in pulpotomized permanent teeth

چکیده
The success of pulpotomy of young permanent teeth depends on the proper selection of dressing materials. This study aimed to evaluate the histological and histomorphometric response of dentin-pulp complex to the enamel matrix derivative (Emdogain(®) gel) compared to that of calcium hydroxide when used as a pulp dressing in immature young permanent dogs' teeth. Dentin-like tissues bridging the full width of the coronal pulp at the interface between the injured and healthy pulp tissues were seen after 1 month in both groups. With time, the dentin bridge increased in thickness for calcium hydroxide but disintegrated and fully disappeared for Emdogain-treated group. Progressive inflammation and total pulp degeneration were only evident with Emdogain-treated group. The root apices of Emdogain-treated teeth became matured and closed by cementum that attached to new alveolar bone by a well-oriented periodontal ligament. In young permanent dentition, Emdogain could be a good candidate for periodontium but not dentino-pulpal complex regeneration.

Aim: To investigate the effect of Emdogain gel (EMD) in pulpotomized primary molars and its clinical and radiographic outcomes. Methods and Materials: In this study, 18 lower second primary molars of nine children were treated by pulpotomy. The teeth were randomly assigned to the EMD (experimental) and Formocresol (control) groups in each patient (split mouth). Following removal of the coro...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate histologically the effect of an enamel matrix derivative as a pulpotomy agent in primary canines. METHODS Ten carious primary canines among teeth deemed for serial extraction were selected for this study. Emdogain gel was used as the pulp dressing material on the amputated pulp stumps. Teeth were extracted postoperatively after: (1) 1 week; (2...

The teeth most commonly affected by trauma are the maxillary central incisors. The most frequent types of traumatic dental injuries to permanent teeth are enamel fractures, enamel and dentine fractures, and enamel and dentine fractures with pulp involvement. This article describes three clinical cases with different levels of traumatized maxillary incisors and several cosmetic approaches for re...

Treatment of the young permanent tooth with a necrotic root canal system and an incompletely developed root is very difficult and challenging. Few acceptable results have been achieved through apexification but use of long-term calcium hydroxide might alter the mechanical properties of dentin. Thus, one alternative approach is to develop and restore a functional pulp-dentin complex. Procedures ...

The purpose of this study was to assess the pulp healing process in baboon teeth after pulpotomy using an enriched collagen solution (ECS) as a pulp dressing. Twenty-five noncarious permanent teeth of two young baboon monkeys were pulpotomized under a rubber dam. After coronal pulp resection and hemostasis, ECS was applied on the pulp stumps and covered with sterile dental wax. The controls wer...
