Background: Regenerative endodontics' primary objective is to establish a favorable environment in the root canal by removing infection, providing a sturdy scaffold, and sealing the apical end of the tooth tightly. These actions should promote pulp regeneration and root development.

Aim: This study evaluated histologically the regenerative potential of injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel or collagen with blood clot as scaffolds during revascularization of immature necrotic dog's teeth.

Biomanufacturing enables novel sources of compounds with constant demand, such as food coloring and preservatives, as well as new compounds with peak demand, such as diagnostics and vaccines. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for alternative sources of research materials, thrusting research on diversification of biomanufacturing platforms. Here, we show initial results exploring the walnut somatic embryogenic system expressing the recombinant receptor binding domain (RBD) and ectodomain of the spike protein (Spike) from the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Article Synopsis
  • Stainless-steel crowns (SSCs) are effective restorations in pediatric dentistry, and this study assessed the knowledge and practice among dental professionals in Sana'a City, Yemen.
  • A modified questionnaire distributed to 700 dental professionals revealed that only 26.3% had experience using SSCs, with higher usage among those with pediatric dentistry degrees.
  • The results indicated a significant gap in practical training and a strong demand for more hands-on education regarding SSCs among general dentists in the area.
