Microcomputerized tomography (micro-CT) allows discriminating very smal lchanges in dental hard tissue volumes. The aim of the present study was to create a new method for obtaining high-resolution, three-dimensional images of dental hard tissue development using micro-CT, and to observe the changes in dental hard tissue development and composition in growing rat pups. Tooth germs from rats at ...

INTRODUCTION Pulp vitality and its continuous dentin prodution are essential for long-term success of direct pulp capping (DPC). The aim of present study was to evaluate the histopathological response of the canine pulp following DPC using either different dentin adhesive resins (DAR), calcium hydroxide (CH) or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). METHODS AND MATERIALS DPC was done on 72 dog's t...

In tissue engineering, biomaterials play a critical role, act as a 3D template, provide mechanical support, and give artificial extracellular matrix environment (ECM) for neo-tissue formation. Only one type of biomaterials is not enough for both hard and soft tissue engineering. That’s why all types of biomaterials i.e. metals, ceramics, & polymers have their own importance in making tissue eng...

The success of root canal treatment is based on total elimination of root canal content, thorough cleaning, shaping and obturation of root canal system. Calcium hydroxide is recommended as intra-canal medicament because of its antibacterial properties, tissue dissolving ability, inhibition of tooth resorption and indication of tissue repair by hard tissue formation. Here we present a series of ...

An investigation was conducted to test the feasibility of demineralized bone matrix and cancellous bone chips in a reverse-phase medium carrier (DynaBlast) in concert with an extracellular matrix membrane (DynaMatrix) to provide hard and soft tissue regeneration for the purpose of a ridge preservation procedure. Nine patients requiring extraction of 30 maxillary teeth were grafted with DynaBlas...
