Objective: To investigate the possibility of reconstruction of dentin-pulp complex by tissue engineering technology.
Methods: Rat dental pulp stem cells were seeded into HA-TCP scaffold and incubated for 20 hours in vitro. Then the cell-scaffold complex was implanted subcutaneously into the dorsal side of nude mice. 8 weeks postimplantation, the samples were extracted for histological and immunohistochemical examinations.
Results: Three strata of tissue were observed in the hole of HA-TCP scaffold. They were dentin-like tissue, predentin-like tissue and pulp-like tissue respectively from the inner surface of the pore to the center. Dentin tubules were obvious in predentin-like and dentin-like tissue lining from the pulp-like tissue through predentin-like tissue and dentin-like tissue. Cells localized along the edge of pulp-like tissue were dense and polarized, resembling odontoblasts. Immunohistochemical study demonstrated DSP and DMP1 expression in these odontoblast-like cells and in the area of predentin-like tissue.
Conclusions: Tissue-engineered rat dentin-pulp complex was reconstructed by seeding HA-TCP scaffold with rat dental pulp stem cells.

Objective: To investigate the effects of quercetin (QU), hesperetin (HT), and taxifolin (TX) on human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) chronically exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
Methods: First, the cytotoxicity (alamarBlue) and bioactivity (biomineralization, Alizarin Red) of QU, HT, and TX concentrations were evaluated on healthy hDPCs. Then, the effects of non-cytotoxic and bioactive concentrations were investigated on hDPCs after previous stimulation with E.

Background: Oral and maxillofacial tissue defects resulting from factors such as trauma or infection, can significantly impact both facial function and aesthetics. Additionally, the complex anatomical structure of the face often increases the difficulty of treatment. With the advantages of controlled release, targeted delivery, and enhanced mechanical properties, injectable hydrogels have been investigated for the treatment of oral and maxillofacial diseases.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on enhancing vital pulp therapy by using human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (hUCMSC-sEVs) with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) pretreatment, which promotes inflammation control and stimulates dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) for dentin-pulp complex regeneration.
- A composite scaffold made of collagen sponge and self-assembling peptide nanofibers (CS/SAPNS) loaded with LPS-hUCMSC-sEVs was developed to facilitate the release of these vesicles to support hDPSC differentiation into osteogenic and angiogenic cells.
- The results showed that this composite scaffold effectively controlled the

Introduction: This study aimed to synthesize dentin powder surface modified with alginate, a potential substance for dental pulp regeneration, and evaluate its effects on the viability and proliferation of human dental pulp stem cells in vitro and its biocompatibility in vivo.
Methods: In the in vitro phase, dentin powder was synthesized in 3 size groups (150-250 μm, 250-500 μm, and 500-1000 μm) after demineralization and atelopeptidization which is used to remove dentin collagen telopeptides and eliminate host immune response. Surface modification with alginate was performed and followed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and cell viability and proliferation testing for 14 days with human dental pulp stem cells studied.
