This double-blind, randomised clinical trial aimed to find out whether there is a difference in the prevalence of neurosensory disturbance (NSD) between patients who received 2% lidocaine and those who received 4% articaine during inferior alveolar nerve blocks (IANBs). Patients who underwent third molar extraction were randomised into two groups. IANB was performed using 2% lidocaine in Group 1 and 4% articaine in Group 2.

Methods: Seven different decellularization protocols consisting of trypsin/EDTA (for 1 hour, 24 hours, or 48 hours), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, for 24 hours or 48 hours), Triton X-100 (for 1 hour), and deoxyribonuclease treatments were tested on bovine dental pulp tissue. The posttreatment samples were evaluated for remaining DNA and cellular contents, structural durability, immunofluorescence analysis, and in vivo immune responses.
Introduction: This study aims to develop and characterize the regenerative potential of an atelopeptidized treated dentin matrix xenograft using in vitro and in vivo models.
Methods: Freshly extracted bovine dentin was pulverized into 250- to 500-μm particles and demineralized with 17% EDTA for 1, 7, and 13 days. The samples were atelopeptidized with pepsin.
Objective: Recent studies suggest xenogeneic extracellular matrices as potential regenerative tools in dental pulp regeneration. This study aimed to fabricate and characterize a novel three-dimensional macroporous pulp-derived scaffold that enables the attachment, penetration, proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.
Method: Bovine pulp was decellularized and characterized with histological and DNA content methods.
