Injectable gelatin-pectin hydrogel for dental tissue engineering: Enhanced angiogenesis and antibacterial efficacy for pulpitis therapy.

Pulpitis is inflammation of the dental pulp, often caused by bacterial infection from untreated cavities, leading to pain. The main challenge in treatment is eliminating infection while preserving tooth vitality. This study aims to address this challenge by developing a hydrogel for convenient insertion into the root canal system, securely attaching to dentin walls.
