Thermal Properties of Dental Materials-Cavity Liner and Pulp Capping Agent-
We studied the thermal properties of cavity liners that included calcium phosphate as inorganic filler, in contrast to the conventional pulp capping agents. Therefore, thermal diffusivity, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity were measured. In addition, thermal conductivity results were compared with those of restorative materials and human

AbstractCD90 expression and immunoreactive cell localisation in rat dental pulp cells after cavity preparation was investigated. Cavity preparation was performed on the maxillary first molar of 8‐week‐old Wistar rats (n = 36), and immunohistochemistry and quantitative real‐time PCR were performed.

Dental Stem Cell Migration on Pulp Ceiling Cavities Filled with MTA, Dentin Chips, or Bio-Oss [PDF]
MTA, Bio-Oss, and dentin chips have been successfully used in endodontics. The aim of this study was to assess the adhesion and migration of dental stem cells on human pulp ceiling cavities filled with these endodontic materials in an experimental model, which mimics the clinical conditions of regenerative endodontics.

Narrowing of the Dental Pulp Cavity in Patients Undergoing Long-Term Administration of Steroids.
The purpose of this study was to examine narrowing of the dental pulp cavity in patients undergoing long-term administration of steroids, by means of intraoral radiographs. The subjects were 20 patients under long-term steroid treatment (the steroid group), and 15 patients who were not receiving steroids (the non-steroid group), who visited the Clinic ...

Determining the age of cats by pulp cavity/tooth width ratio using dental radiography
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of age on the ratio of pulp cavity/tooth width (P/T ratio) in healthy cats. The dental radiographs of 32 cats (16 males and 16 females) were generated with a digital dental X-ray unit with the animals under general anesthesia.

Repopulation of a 3D-simulated periapical lesion cavity with triggered osteoblastic-differentiated dental pulp stem cell spheroids [PDF]
AbstractWe established a proof of concept model system for the biological repair of periapical lesions using stem cell spheroids. A mesenchymal stem cell line isolated from the dental pulp of deciduous teeth (shed cells) was cultured in a 2D monolayer and then in 3D multicellular spheroids.

Mouse Model of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-Induced Pulpitis. [PDF]
Pulpitis is an important and prevalent disease within the oral cavity. Thus, animal models are necessary tools for basic research focused on pulpitis. Researchers worldwide often use dogs and miniature pigs to construct animal models of pulpitis. However,

AbstractThe erbium‐doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er: YAG) laser has been successfully applied in caries removal; however, little is known about proper parameters of Er: YAG laser on different conditions of caries removal, especially the influence of Er: YAG irradiation on human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). Here, we tested the effects of Er: YAG laser at
