Healing Capacity of Autologous Bone Marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Partially Pulpotomized Dogs' Teeth.

Introduction: Partial pulpotomy is a vital treatment for carious and traumatic exposure, especially in young permanent teeth. Cell-based therapy for partially pulpotomized teeth can be considered a promising approach for dentin-pulp complex regeneration. This study evaluated the healing capacity of autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) on partially pulpotomized teeth in a dog model.

Biodentine versus mineral trioxide aggregate as a direct pulp capping material for human mature permanent teeth - A systematic review.

Background: Biodentine is comparatively a new biomaterial claimed to have properties comparable to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Biodentine and MTA are effectively used for direct pulp capping (DPC), and they are capable of regenerating relatively damaged pulp and formation of hard dentine bridge.

Objectives: The aim of this systematic review was to test the null hypothesis of no difference between Biodentine and MTA as DPC materials for human permanent mature teeth, against the alternative hypothesis of a difference.
