Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) can be found within the cell rich zone of dental pulp. These stem cells, under specific stimuli, differentiate into many cell types which have wide therapeutic applications.   The dental stem cells are derived from both deciduous and permanent teeth. The viable dental stem cells are very simple to collect, without any mortality and morbidity. Dental pulp stem c...

The mismatch of thermal expansion and contraction between restorative materials and tooth may cause stresses at their interface, which may lead to microleakage. The present work compared the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) with the thermomechanical behavior of human and bovine teeth and determined if the CTE is a suitable parameter to describe tooth behavior. Fifteen human third molar an...

The periodontal ligament is the tissue that connects teeth to bone. The periodontal ligament is a fascinating tissue from a cell biologist's point of view, and because of its special properties and stem-cell content it has also come into the limelight in emerging fields of regenerative medicine. An increased range of genetically modified mouse models offer new tools for studying molecular mecha...

SEM analysis contains researches of tooth enamel surfaces of two populations. First group of samples is tooth enamel of prehistorically ancestor from Vucedol and the second group of samples is enamel of modern Croatian citizen. Even on small number of human teeth samples from cooperage site of Vucedol (3,000 BC) and today's Croatian people, we can conclude about chewing biometry of prehistorica...

objective: by date investigations have indicated the presence of stem cells within the pulp tissue of both temporary and permanent human teeth. in the present study, these stem cells were compared in terms of their growth kinetics and culture requirements. materials and methods: stem cells within the pulp of the human third molar (permanent tooth) and the deciduous incisor (temporary tooth) wer...

J. rauma to the human anterior primary dentition results in luxation injuries in 62-69% of the cases.The most common forms of injury to the anterior primary dentition are intrusion and extrusion. When there is complete intrusion of the primary tooth into the alveolar bone, the only way to differentiate between intrusion and avulsion is by radiographic examination. The following report describes...

Tooth agenesis in the reduction of tooth number which includes hypodontia, oligodontia and anodontia is caused by disturbances and gene mutations that occur during odontogenesis. To date, several genetic mutations that unlock the causes of non-syndromic tooth agenesis are being discovered; these have been associated with certain illnesses because tooth development involves the interaction of se...

Previous reports have described the differences in the friction and wear behavior between different zones of human teeth. The objective of this research was to study the friction and wear behavior of human teeth under different wear conditions to extend the understanding of the tooth wear process, as well as to provide a more rational explanation for wear mechanism of teeth. Two typical wear te...

In the context of human evolution, study proteins may overcome limitation high degradation ancient DNA over time to provide biomolecular information useful for phylogenetic reconstruction hominid taxa. this study, we used a shotgun proteomics approach compare tooth proteomes extant and non-human primates (gorilla, chimpanzee, orangutan baboon) in order search panel peptides able discriminate be...

OBJECTIVE Tooth loss is a common problem and since current tooth replacement methods cannot counter balance with biological tooth structures, regenerating natural tooth structures has become an ideal goal. A challenging problem in tooth regeneration is to find a proper clinically feasible cell to seed.This study was designed to investigate the odontogenic potential of human bone marrow mesenchy...
