Response of stem cells derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth to Bio-C Repair and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Repair HP: Cytotoxicity and gene expression assessment.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the cytotoxicity and gene expression of Bio-C Repair, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) HP Repair, and Biodentine on stem cells derived from exfoliated deciduous teeth.

Materials And Methods: In this study MTT assay was used to assess the cellular viability at three different dilutions. The gene expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin [OCN], and dentin matrix protein-1 (DMP-1) was measured with real-time polymerase chain reaction after 7 days, 14 days, and 21 days of incubation.

Assessment of the Influence of Various Concentrations of Sodium Hypochlorite on Stem Cell Derived From Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth (SHED) Proliferation and Differentiation.

Objectives  Previous research has established that sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) has a detrimental effect on dental stem cell viability and maturation. However, a review of the literature revealed no study evaluating the response of NaOCl to the survival of stem cells derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs). Hence, the aim of the present trial was to assess the influence of various dilutions of NaOCl on SHED proliferation and differentiation.
