introduction: hyperplastic pulpitis (pulp polyp)tissues contains cells with stem cell properties similar to that of the dental pulp stem cells (dpscs). it has also been shown that cd146 enrichment can homogenize the cultures of dpscs and enhance the colony forming potentials of their cultures. this study determines whether cd146 enrichment can help purifying the stem cells from heterogeneous cu...

OBJECTIVES Few studies investigated the isolation of stem cells from pathologically injured dental tissues. The aim of this study was to assess the possibility of isolation of stem cells from pulp polyps (chronic hyperplastic pulpitis), a pathological tissue produced in an inflammatory proliferative response within a tooth. STUDY DESIGN Pulp polyp tissues were enzymatically digested and the h...

The effects of vital root resection upon the remaining pulp were studied in twenty-six periodontally involved human molars. The pulp was extirpated 14 days after the intervention. Granulomatous tissue present in the pulp chamber protruded from the site of the exposure as a polyp in eleven cases. Mild chronic inflammatory changes were present in the coronalmost part of the radicular pulp. The ap...

vital pulp therapy (vpt) of permanent mature teeth is continuously ascertaining to be a more reliable endodontic treatment. the purpose of this case report was to describe successful vpt of a mature mandibular left first molar with concurrent hyperplastic pulpitis, internal root resorption and periradicular periodontitis in a 35-year-old male patient. after complete caries removal and access ca...

chronic hyperplastic pulpitis (pulp polyps) usually occurs in molar teeth of children and young adults and is characterized by an overgrowth of granulomatous tissue into the carious cavity. here, we report a rare type of pulp polyp in lower third molar of a 27-year-old woman that not only grow into carious cavity but also extruded in very large size that interfered with occluding of the teeth.

Natal teeth are an infrequent occurrence at birth. Often these teeth are extracted because they are very mobile and pose a risk of aspiration. This is a rare case in which a natal tooth was extracted by the pediatrician with his fingers. A root fragment remained and out of this developed a large pulp polyp. This relationship has not been previously reported.

Complicated crown fracture and crown-root fracture with pulp involvement expose dental pulp to the oral environment. The pulp outcome is often unpredictable because the patient and injury which are related to variables can influence the treatment of choice and the prognosis of the case. This report presents the case of a 4-year-old boy with complicated crown fracture with pulp polyp in the prim...
