Gingival recession can result in an unesthetic appearance, hypersensitivity, and root caries. The physiological well-being of the patient is a significant factor associated with the success of dental therapy. Esthetics is one of the main concerns of the patient if recession is present especially in anteriors. Hence, the treatment of choice for root coverage for the anterior teeth should address...

Dens invaginatus, also known as “dens in dente”, is a developmental dental anomaly resulting in an invagination of the enamel organ into the dental papilla. These cases present technical difficulties to the root canal treatment. Apexification using an apical plug of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been indicated as an alternative to long-term intracanal use of calcium hydroxide in immature...

Despite Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a rare odontogenic tumour, it occurs predominantly in children and therefore remain an important diagnostic consideration.1 It usually arises from the mandibular dentition although it can arise in maxilla.2 AF consists of odontogenic ectomesenchyme resembling the dental papilla and epithelium resembling dental lamina and enamel organ without dental hard tiss...

We isolated dental papilla mesenchymal cells (DPMCs) from different rat incisor germs at the late bell stage and incubated them as cell pellets in polypropylene tubes. In vitro pellet culture of DPMCs presented several crucial characteristics of odontoblasts, as indicated by accelerated mineralization, positive immunostaining for dentin sialophosphoprotein and dentin matrix protein 1, and expre...

Objective. The objective of this paper is to report a dental fusion case focusing on clinical and radiographic features for the diagnosis. Method. To report a case of right maxillary lateral incisor fusion and a supernumerary tooth, the anatomy of the root canal and dental united portion were assessed by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Results. The clinical examination showed dental juxta...

Introduction: The facial appearance depends on several oral and extraoral factors including colour of skin pigmentation gingival epithelium. the gingiva varies among individuals is thought to be associated with cutaneous which ranges from light dark brown or black colour.
 Objective: To assess prevalence physiological pigmentation, biotype their association colur in Nepalese subjects visit...

Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly that results in an invagination of the enamel organ into dental papilla prior to calcification tissues. Apical fenestration defined as defect which apices perforate mucosa and are exposed oral cavity. These anomalies require multidisciplinary management order give better prognosis patient, since it acts retentive area biofilm, affecting deteriorating ...

Gingival recession can result in an unesthetic appearance, hypersensitivity, and root caries. The physiological well-being of the patient is a significant factor associated with success dental therapy.Numerous techniques are advocated for coverage. Although, connective tissue graft serves as gold standard, it requires second surgical site -a major disadvantage. When aesthetic demand high vestib...

Stem cells have been isolated from many tissues and organs, including dental tissue. Five types of dental stem cells have been established: dental pulp stem cells, stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth, stem cells from apical papilla, periodontal ligament stem cells, and dental follicle progenitor cells. The main characteristics of dental stem cells are their potential for multilineage dif...

Stem cells of the apical papilla (SCAP) represent great promise regarding treatment of neural tissue damage, such as spinal cord injury (SCI). They derive from the neural crest, express numerous neurogenic markers, and mediate neurite outgrowth and axonal targeting. The goal of the present work was to investigate for the first time their potential to promote motor recovery after SCI in a rat he...
