AIM To compare the histomorphological response of rat dental pulps capped with MM-MTA and ProRoot MTA at 1, 2 and 4 weeks postoperatively. MATERIALS AND METHODS Direct pulp capping with MM-MTA and ProRoot MTA, overlaid with light-cured composite resin, was performed on right and left maxillary first molars of 20 Wistar rats. Animals were killed at 1, 2 and 4 weeks postoperatively. Biopsy samp...

Whenever the tooth dentin-pulp complex is affected by caries, attrition, erosion, chemicals and abrasion, pulpal response to these injuries can stimulate inflammatory activity. Although the pulp injury caused by these irritants can be important, in many cases the most severe tissue trauma is not a direct result of these environmental or accidental events, instead, it results from the surgical t...

Plants with animal-dispersed fruits seem to overcome the barriers that limit their spread into new habitats more easily than other invasive plants and, at the same time, they pose special difficulties for containment, control or eradication. The effects of animals on plant propagules can be very diverse, with positive, neutral or negative consequences for germination and recruitment. Moreover, ...

Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, Nepal ** Bacteriologist, Govt Medical College and Hospital, Patiala, Punjab, India INTRODUCTION Periapical pathosis is considered as an endogenous infection caused by oral microflora. Bacterial infection of dental pulp results in pulpal destruction and subsequently stimulates an inflammatory cel...

Vitality of dental pulp is essential for long-term tooth survival. The aim of vital pulp therapy is to maintain healthy pulp tissue by eliminating bacteria from the dentin-pulp complex. There are several different treatment options for vital pulp therapy in extensively decayed or traumatized teeth. Pulp capping or pulpotomy procedures rely upon an accurate assessment of the pulp status, and car...

ABSTRACT - Vermicomposting with pomegranate pulp can not only prevent pollution of the environment but can also create jobs, generate added value and prevent the waste of energy and the country's capital. This factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design. The first factor (a) in two levels contained neutralized pomegranate pulp with lime and non-neutralized pulp. The sec...

one of the most common outcomes of pulp inflammation is periapical granuloma formation. existence of immune cells in these lesions showed involvement of both humoral and cellular immunity in the site. the presence of different antigens in the root canal causes production o various antibodies and consequent immunological reactions. different theories have been proposed on periapical cysts. the m...
