Successful direct pulp capping of cariously exposed permanent teeth with reversible pulpitis and incomplete apex formation can prevent the need for root canal treatment. A case report is presented which demonstrates the use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as a direct pulp capping material for the purpose of continued maturogenesis of the root. Clinical and radiographic follow-up demonstrated a vital pulp and physiologic root development in comparison with the contralateral tooth. MTA can be considered as an effective material for vital pulp therapy, with the goal of maturogenesis.

BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Basic Dental Sciences Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Zarqa University, PO Box 2000, Zarqa, 13110, Jordan.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate and compare the histological response of rabbit dental pulp after direct pulp capping with 3 different materials: mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), nanoparticles of fluorapatite (Nano-FA), and nanoparticles of hydroxyapatite (Nano-HA) after 4 and 6-week time intervals.
Material And Methods: A total of 72 upper and lower incisor teeth from 18 rabbits were randomly categorized into 3 groups)24 incisors from six rabbits each. MTA Group: teeth were capped with MTA.
Histological and radiographic assessment of the regenerative potential of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) as a novel direct pulp capping material in an animal model.
BMC Oral Health

Paediatric and Community Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Minia University, Ard Shalaby, El Minia, 61519, Egypt.
Background: This study aimed to assess the histological and radiographic effects of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) as a direct pulp capping (DPC) agent in immature permanent dog premolars.
Methods: A split-mouth design was employed with three healthy 4-month-old Mongrel dogs, each having 36 premolars. The premolars were randomly assigned to either SHMP or MTA.
Crown ether is widely used in water purification because of its ring structure and good selective adsorption of specific heavy metals. However, its high cost and difficulty in recycling limit the purification of heavy metals in water. The anisotropic [2,4]-dibenzo-18-crown-6-modified bamboo pulp aerogel (DB18C6/PA) is successfully synthesized by microwave irradiation and directional freezing technology.

- Heavy metal wastewater is highly toxic even at low levels, posing risks to the environment and human health, necessitating the development of effective treatment methods.
- MnFeO-loaded bamboo pulp carbon-based aerogel (MCA) is created through freeze-drying and carbonization, and its properties are analyzed using various scientific techniques.
- MCA shows strong adsorption capabilities for heavy metals Pb, Cu, and Cd, with maximum capacities of 74.38, 84.21, and 73.63 mg/g, indicating its potential for use in wastewater purification.
Recent Advances in Regenerative Endodontics: A Review of Current Techniques and Future Directions.
Cureus
November 2024
Endodontics, Private Clinic, Khobar, SAU.
Regenerative endodontics is a rapidly evolving discipline focused on biologically restoring the pulp-dentin complex to revive vitality in non-vital teeth. Unlike traditional endodontic therapies that rely on inert materials to preserve structure, regenerative techniques aim to re-establish natural structure and function by harnessing advancements in tissue engineering. This narrative review examines recent progress in stem cell applications, scaffold development, signaling molecules, and clinical protocols that contribute to successful regenerative outcomes.
