Captive and wild African elephants frequently suffer tusk fractures. Several institutions shorten the tusks of captive elephants to reduce fractures and injury as a result of behaviour within enclosures. Fracturing or coronal amputations that expose pulp lead to pain for the elephant. Estimating coronal pulp lengths may thus help to minimise the risk of pulp exposure during amputations. We aime...

Dental pulp testing is a useful and essential diagnostic aid in endodontics. Pulp sensibility tests include thermal and electric tests, which extrapolate pulp health from sensory response. Whilst pulp sensibility tests are the most commonly used in clinical practice, they are not without limitations and shortcomings. Pulp vitality tests attempt to examine the presence of pulp blood flow, as thi...

Regeneration of dental pulp after pulpectomy was accomplished recently by autologous transplantation of dental pulp stem/ progenitor cells into the root canal. The identical patterns of qualitative and quantitative protein and mRNA expression in the regenerated pulp and normal pulp demonstrated complete pulp regeneration. The lack of tissue specific markers in the dental pulp is a major challen...

Erosion is one of the important unlikely problems in oil refining industry that produces many damages and values to refining parts. In other part stop of refining operation for repairing is very expensive. Many erosions are happened in refining operations when equipments are placed to atmosphere, Powerful acids, eruption gases, hydrocarbon vampires and high temperature make very complex situati...

Vital Pulp Protection and Therapy (VPPT) is the treatment that maintains pulp tissue in a healthy and functional state, whenever the dentin-pulp complex has been compromised by caries, trauma or restorative procedures. Pulp vitality and function is not essential for mature tooth survival. Mature permanent teeth without a vital pulp can survive for a long time after a successful endodontic treat...

INTRODUCTION Direct pulp capping procedure is a therapeutic application of a drug on exposed tooth pulp in order to ensure the closure of the pulp chamber and to allow the healing process to take place. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the histological effects of Emdogain® on exposed tooth pulp of a Vietnamese pig (Sus scrofa verus). METHODS The study comprised 20 teeth of a V...

Endodontic regeneration shows promise in treating dental pulp diseases; however, no suitable scaffolds exist for pulp regeneration. Acellular natural extracellular matrix (ECM) is a favorable scaffold for tissue regeneration since the anatomical structure and ECM of the natural tissues or organs are well-preserved. Xenogeneic ECM is superior to autologous or allogeneic ECM in tissue engineering...

The U.S. government aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 reduce the severe impacts of climate change. industrial sector will become a focal point for decarbonization since it accounts 33% nation’s primary energy use and 30% its energy-related CO2 emissions. Industrial are also expected increase 15% through 2050, making logical target efforts. Energy efficiency technology pa...

The purpose of this study was to assess the histological appearance of the pulp of human primary incisors extracted because of deep, unrestorable caries, and to determine how clinical pulp exposures affected the histological status of the pulp compared to nonexposures. Caries was removed carefully from all teeth after fixation; 24 incisors had pulp exposures, and 29 teeth had no pulp exposures....
