Treatment of deep caries with pulpitis is a major challenge in dentistry. Stem cell therapy represents a potential strategy to regenerate the dentin-pulp complex, enabling conservation and restoration of teeth. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of pulp stem cell transplantation as a prelude for the impending clinical trials. Clinical-grade pulp stem cells were is...

background: it is still controversial that the stem cells isolated from human dental pulp meets the criteria for mesenchymal stem cells (mscs). the aim of the present study was to examine whether or not they are mscs, or are distinct stem cells population residing in tooth pulp.   methods: adherent fibroblastic cells in the culture of pulp tissue from human third molars were propagated through ...

Pulp regeneration is considered in cases where the dental pulp has been destroyed because of microbial irritation. Diverse oral and food-borne micro-organisms are able to invade the pulp space, form biofilm on canal walls, and infiltrate dentinal tubules. Prior to pulp regeneration procedures, the pulp space and dentinal walls need to be sufficiently disinfected to allow for and promote regener...

Enriched beverage prepared by supplementing pear juice with jamun pulp was assessed for antioxidant activity and quality. Jamun pulp was supplemented at the levels of 5,10,15,20 and 25 per cent and optimized on the basis of sensory evaluation and color characteristics. Sensory scores were highest for pear juice supplemented with 20 per cent jamun pulp and was further chosen for storage studies....

Use of switchable ionic liquid (SIL) pulp offers an efficient and greener technology to produce nanofibers via ultrafine grinding. In this study, we demonstrate that SIL pulp opens up a mechanically efficient route to the nanofibrillation of wood pulp, thus providing both a low cost and chemically benign route to the production of cellulose nanofibers. The degree of fibrillation during the proc...

Millions of teeth are saved each year by root canal therapy. Although current treatment modalities offer high levels of success for many conditions, an ideal form of therapy might consist of regenerative approaches in which diseased or necrotic pulp tissues are removed and replaced with healthy pulp tissue to revitalize teeth. Researchers are working toward this objective. Regenerative endodont...

The effect of C. odontophyllum (CO) fruit parts was investigated in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. Forty-nine rabbits, which were randomly divided into seven groups of seven animals (n = 7), received a diet containing different parts of CO fruit parts for 8 weeks. The groups were as follows: (1) normal diet: NC group and (2) hypercholesterolemic diet: PC, HS (10 mg/kg/day simvastatin), HPO (20 g...

nanofibrillated cellulose fibers were produced from unbleached kraft pulp of kenaf bast fiber. air dried and vacuum filtrated films of cellulose nanofibers were produced and their density and tensile properties were investigated. kenaf bast fiber unbleached kraft pulp has good potential for production of cellulose nanofibers by microfluidizer; so that the use of kenaf bast fiber unbleached kraf...

Odontogenesis is accomplished by reciprocal signaling between the epithelial and mesenchymal compartments. It is generally accepted that the inductive mesenchyme is capable of inducing the odontogenic commitment of both dental and non-dental epithelial cells. However, the duration of this signal in the developing dental mesenchyme and whether adult dental pulp tissue maintains its inductive cap...

Corn stalk rind (CSR) was treated with Trametes hirsuta lg-9 and then refined into pulp. The biotreatment resulted in loss of paper strength and brightness, but energy consumption during refining (ECR) was reduced. Meanwhile, multiple linear regression was carried out, for which ECR served as the dependent variable, and the yield and infrared relative absorbance intensities at 3414 cm and 1653 ...
