Pulp Response following Direct Pulp Capping with Dentin Adhesives and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate; An Animal Study

INTRODUCTION Pulp vitality and its continuous dentin prodution are essential for long-term success of direct pulp capping (DPC). The aim of present study was to evaluate the histopathological response of the canine pulp following DPC using either different dentin adhesive resins (DAR), calcium hydroxide (CH) or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). METHODS AND MATERIALS DPC was done on 72 dog's t...

Is Pulp Inflammation a Prerequisite for Pulp Healing and Regeneration?

The importance of inflammation has been underestimated in pulpal healing, and in the past, it has been considered only as an undesirable effect. Associated with moderate inflammation, necrosis includes pyroptosis, apoptosis, and nemosis. There are now evidences that inflammation is a prerequisite for pulp healing, with series of events ahead of regeneration. Immunocompetent cells are recruited ...

Pulp Computing

We are investigating the integration of paper artifacts into personal and inter-personal computing environments. We will demonstrate portable paper interfaces to media collections and active photos that allow uses to access annotations in both web-based and printed representations.

Infection and Pulp Regeneration

The regeneration of the pulp-dentin complex has been a great challenge to both scientists and clinicians. Previous work has shown that the presence of prior infection may influence the characteristics of tissues formed in the root canal space after regenerative endodontic treatment. The formation of ectopic tissues such as periodontal ligament, bone, and cementum has been observed in the root c...

Pulp Regeneration by Harnessing Dental Pulp Stem Cells

Dentin-Pulp Complex Regeneration Therapy Following Pulp Amputation

Dental pulp, which is surrounded by hard tissue (dentin and enamel), consists of pulp cells, odontoblasts, endothelial cells, neurons, immune system cells, and the extracellular matrix, and plays key roles in maintaining the function of healthy teeth [1]. Via the apical foramen of tooth, blood vessels supply nutrients to the tooth and remove waste products, and neural network warns for harmful ...
