Dens invaginatus is a malformation of teeth probably resulting from an infolding of the dental papilla during tooth development. Affected teeth show a deep infolding of enamel and dentine starting from the foramen coecum or even the tip of the cusps, and which may extend deep into the root. Teeth most affected are maxillary lateral incisors and bilateral occurrence is not uncommon. The malforma...

Engineering of craniofacial tissues would have a profound impact on various treatment strategies in dentistry. The role of mesenchymal stem cells in the formation of all craniofacial and dental structures has been well demonstrated. Stem cells from various craniofacial structures like dental epithelium, dental follicle, apical papilla, exfoliated deciduous teeth, periodontal ligament and dental...

The auditory epithelium in birds and mammals consists of a postmitotic population of hair cells and supporting cells. Unlike mammals, birds can regenerate their auditory epithelia after trauma. Recent evidence indicates that supporting cells undergo mitosis after acoustic trauma, suggesting that supporting cells may transdifferentiate into hair cells. The goals of this study were to 1) characte...

The interaction between stem cells and growth factors plays a major role in the regeneration of pulp-dentin complex. Studies have reported potential Bone Morphogenic Proteins (BMPs) differentiation cells. purpose present systematic review was to analyze Protein-2 (BMP-2) osteogenic/odontogenic Stem from apical papilla (SCAP). search conducted across PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, Goo...

The mechanisms underlying the prevention of age-related polyuria by chronic food restriction were investigated in female WAG/Rij rats. The decreased osmolality of renal papilla observed in senescent rats was not corrected by food restriction. A reduced urea content in the inner medulla of senescent rats, fed ad libitum or food-restricted, was suggested by the marked decrease in expression of UT...

Introduction: Ability to reconstruct the papilla in anterior maxilla is important aspect of perio-plastic surgery. In most articles, connective tissue is used with different designs of incisions. The aim of this study was to use sub-epithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) with two types of incisions called papilla preservation and semilunar. Materials & Methods: This basic randomized clinica...
