Dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) is a non-collagenous matrix protein with a recognized role in the formation of mineralized tissues such as dentin. The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution of DMP1 in human dentin by means of immunofluorescence and high-resolution immunogold labeling. Fully developed, sound human dentin specimens were submitted to fluorescence labeling and post-embedd...

BACKGROUND: Pulp damage can lead to dentinogenesis impairment, irreversible pulpitis, or pulp necrosis. Despite being the most used endodontic procedure treat damaged pulp, root canal therapy only results in nonvital teeth which are prone fractures and secondary infection. Pulp-dentin regeneration has a potential regenerate structure similar normal pulp-dentin complex, be achieved by combining ...

BACKGROUND Age estimation is an important factor in the identification of an individual in forensic science. The hard tissues of the human dentition are able to resist decay and degradation, long after other tissues are lost. This resistance has made teeth useful indicators for age calculation. Recent research has indicated that Tooth Cementum Annulations (TCA) may be used more reliably than an...

PURPOSE To review the use of a new resin-dentin bonding model called the macro-hybrid layer, to quantify resin uptake and matrix shrinkage during resin infiltration and solvent evaporation. A secondary purpose was to introduce the concept of ethanol-wet bonding where water-saturated acid-etched dentin is exchanged with ethanol to create ethanol-saturated dentin. Adhesive monomers seem to penetr...

introduction: dentin dysplasia is a rare autosomal dominant inheriting disturbance of dentin formation characterized by normal enamel formation, but atypical dentin with abnormal pulpal morphology. there are two major patterns: type i and type ii. amelogenesis imperfecta is an autosomal dominant. x-link inherent disease that is classified by clinical manifestation into hypoplastic, hypomature, ...

Background: Dentin dysplasia (DD) is a rare disturbance of dentin formation, characterized by normal enamel but atypical dentin formation with abnormal pulpal morphology. In DD type I, the teeth appear clinically normal in morphologic appearance and color. Radiographic analysis shows obliteration of all pulp chambers as well as short, blunted, and malformed or absent roots with multiple periapi...

The aim of this study was to investigate the diffusion of red-stained experimental GM primer and blue-stained dentin bonding agent into EDTA-conditioned dentin and the effect of GM priming on contraction gap formation. After GM priming at 0, 35, 70, or 100 vol%, marginal adaptation was evaluated by measuring the wall-to-wall contraction gap width of a light-activated resin composite (Palfique E...

The ultimate goal of vital pulp therapy is to regenerate rapidly dentin possessing an excellent quality using a biocompatible, bioactive agent. Dentin phosphophoryn (DPP), the most abundant noncollagenous polyanionic protein in dentin, cross-linked to atelocollagen fibrils was applied to direct pulp capping in rats. After 1, 2, and 3 weeks, the teeth applied were examined on the induction of re...

Dentin is a calcified tissue of the body, and along with enamel, cementum, and pulp is one of the four major components of teeth. Usually, it is covered by enamel on the crown and cementum on the root and surrounds the entire pulp. By weight, 70% of dentin consists of the mineral hydroxylapatite, 20% is organic material and 10% is water [3]. Secondary dentin may be defined as the dentin formed ...

The effects of dietary sucrose and systemic glucocorticoid treatment on the response of the pulpodentinal complex to dental caries were examined in an experimental rat model. The possible role of dentinal caries on dentin formation was also examined. After 5-6 weeks of a dietary and/or medication period, the areas of dentin formation and dentinal caries were quantified in the molars of growing ...
