INTRODUCTION Direct pulp capping procedure is a therapeutic application of a drug on exposed tooth pulp in order to ensure the closure of the pulp chamber and to allow the healing process to take place. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the histological effects of Emdogain® on exposed tooth pulp of a Vietnamese pig (Sus scrofa verus). METHODS The study comprised 20 teeth of a V...

Endodontic regeneration shows promise in treating dental pulp diseases; however, no suitable scaffolds exist for pulp regeneration. Acellular natural extracellular matrix (ECM) is a favorable scaffold for tissue regeneration since the anatomical structure and ECM of the natural tissues or organs are well-preserved. Xenogeneic ECM is superior to autologous or allogeneic ECM in tissue engineering...

Among subtropical fruits Ber (Zizyphus mauritiana L.) one of the most common fruit crop, grown under neglected soil types. It is a drought hardy and can grow hazardous conditions soil, water climate thus it has rightly been recommended for arid desert area India [1]. found growing wild as well in cultivated forms throughout warmer regions up to an altitude 1500 metres above Mean Sea Level. The ...

In Canada, all pulp and paper mills need to conduct environmental effects monitoring (EEM) as part of the requirements of the Pulp and Paper Effluent Regulations under the Fisheries Act. EEM studies typically consist of a benthic invertebrate survey, a fish population survey, and an analysis of possible impacts on fish usability. This assessment of Cycle 2 Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM)...

Human renin is prepared by a modification of the method of Katz and Goldblatt (1). Human kidneys are obtained as fresh as possible from autopsied cases. Fatty and fibrous parts are discarded and the remainder ground to a pulp in a flour mill. Two volumes by weight of tap water are added, together with toluol as a preservative, and after thorough stirring, the mixture is stored at a temperature ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the Maillard reaction between polysaccharides and proteins from longan pulp and the effects of reaction on their in vitro activities. The polysaccharide-protein mixtures of fresh longan pulp (LPPMs) were co-prepared by an alkali extraction-acid precipitation method. They were then dry-heated under controlled conditions for monitoring the characteriza...

The purpose of this study was to assess the histological appearance of the pulp of human primary incisors extracted because of deep, unrestorable caries, and to determine how clinical pulp exposures affected the histological status of the pulp compared to nonexposures. Caries was removed carefully from all teeth after fixation; 24 incisors had pulp exposures, and 29 teeth had no pulp exposures....

The aim of this study was the fabrication and evaluation of a novel bioactive and bactericidal material, which could have applications in dentistry by supporting tissue regeneration and killing oral bacteria. Our hypothesis was that a new scaffold for pulp-dentin tissue engineering with enhanced antibacterial activity could be obtained by associating extracellular matrix derived from porcine bl...

Apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) have been identified as one of the main dietary sources of antioxidants, mainly phenolic compounds. These compounds vary in their composition and concentration, among cultivars and fruit tissues. In this research, the total phenolic content (Folin-Ciocalteau assay), antioxidant capacity (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power, FRAP assay) and mineral composition in th...

Banana (musa Sapientum var Cavendish) pulp was obtained and drum dried with varied concentrations of prepared cornstarch, skimmed milk powder and sugar. The water activities of the resulting powders were determined and from which the packaging requirement of the free flowing combinations was determined. The dried banana pulp was found to be thermoplastic and highly hygroscopic. The thermosplast...
