The odontogenic and osteogenic potential of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and stem cells
from human exfoliated deciduous tooth (SHED) have been shown clearly by various in vitro …

The first experimental investigation of orthodontic tooth movement was published by
Sandstedt in 1904–1905. After 100 years, there is a good understanding of the sequence of …

This was a parallel, double-blind, prospective, randomized, controlled trial with the objective

Abstract Dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) was originally postulated to be dentin specific.
Further analysis showed that DMP1 is also expressed in mature cartilage and bone. In bone …

A major area in regenerative medicine is the application of stem cells in bone reconstruction
and bone tissue engineering. This will require well‐defined and efficient protocols for …

Porous nano-scaffolds provide for better opportunities to restore, maintain, and improve
functions of damaged tissues and organs by facilitating tissue regeneration. Various …

Craniofacial sutures are soft connective-tissue joints between mineralized skull bones.
Suture mechanobiology refers to the understanding of how mechanical stimuli modulate …

Dental pulp stem cells constitute an attractive source of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells
owing to their high proliferation rate and multilineage differentiation potential. Osteogenesis …

S keletal tissue is exposed to mechanical forces throughout a vertebrate life span, and bone
