Multipotency is a defining characteristic of post-natal stem cells. The human dental pulp
contains a small subpopulation of stem cells that exhibit multipotency, as demonstrated by …

The restoration of dentine lost in deep caries lesions in teeth is a routine and common
treatment that involves the use of inorganic cements based on calcium or silicon-based …

For years, dental surgeons have used a limited number of capping agents to keep teeth
alive. The most efficient was calcium hydroxide. Lessons from developmental biology have …

Our purpose was to characterize human dental pulp cells isolated by various methods and
to examine the behavior of cells grown under various conditions for the purpose of …

Objective To evaluate the biocompatibility and osteoinductive properties of Bioroot™ RCS
(BR, Septodont, France) compared to Kerr's Pulp Canal Sealer™(PCS, Kerr, Italy) using the …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been identified and isolated from dental tissues,
including stem cells from apical papilla, which demonstrated the ability to differentiate into …

Mineralization is a process of deposition of calcium phosphate crystals within a fibrous
extracellular matrix (ECM). In mineralizing tissues, such as dentin, bone and hypertrophic …

Tooth is made of crown and root. It is widely believed that dentin formation in crown and root
uses the same regulatory mechanism. However, identification of nuclear factor 1 C (NFIC)'s …

Abstract Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are a natural byproduct of oxygen metabolism. At
physiological levels, ROS regulate multiple cellular processes like proliferation, migration …

Many dental pulp stem cells are neural crest derivatives essential for lifelong maintenance of
tooth functions and homeostasis as well as tooth repair. These cells may be directly …
