Objectives: This study evaluated the human pulp response to the application of two RMGICs in deep cavities in vivo.
Methods: The cavity floor prepared on the buccal surface of 34 premolars was lined with VBP (VBP), Vitrebond (VB) or Dycal® (DY), and restored with composite resin. Additional teeth were used as an intact control group. After 7 or 30-60 days, the teeth were extracted and processed for histological evaluation. The following histological events were scored: inflammatory response, tissue disorganization, reactionary dentin formation and presence of bacteria.
Results: At 7 days, VBP and VB elicited a mild inflammatory pulpal response in about 70% of specimens and in 1 specimen for DY. Only 1 specimen of each RMGICs exhibited moderate tissue disorganization. Bacteria and reactionary dentin formation were not found. At 30-60 days, about 20% of specimens lined with RMGICs showed a persistent mild inflammatory pulp response while no inflammatory reaction was observed for DY. Moderate tissue disorganization occurred with both materials. Bacteria were found only in 1 VBP specimen. The mean remaining dentin thickness (RDT) in specimens lined with VBP, VB or DY ranged from 342.3 to 436.1μm, and no statistically significant differences in RDT were found among materials or periods (two-way ANOVA, p>0.05). Comparison of the two RMGICs tested for the histological events at each period showed statistically similar results (Kruskal-Wallis, p>0.05).
Significance: The use of the new Vitrebond formulation (VBP) in deep cavities in vivo caused mild initial pulp damage, which decreased with time, indicating acceptable biocompatibility.

Inflammation is a complex host response to harmful infections or injuries, playing both beneficial and detrimental roles in tissue regeneration. Notably, clinical dentinogenesis associated with caries development occurs within an inflammatory environment. Reparative dentinogenesis is closely linked to intense inflammation, which triggers the recruitment and differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) into the dentin lineage.

The outcome of tooth autotransplantation depends mainly on the transplant tooth's anatomy-the type of donor tooth and the developmental stage of root formation. Mature teeth display a higher complication rate due to lower pulp revascularization potential, requiring root canal treatment (RCT) pre- or postoperatively to avoid postoperative complications, which extends treatment duration and cost. This report details a 39-year-old patient's autotransplantation of a mature wisdom tooth to replace the first molar after unsuccessful root canal retreatment.

Aging often triggers dental pulp fibrosis, resulting in clinical repercussions such as increased susceptibility to dental infections, compromised tooth vitality, and reduced responsiveness to dental interventions. Despite its prevalence, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying this condition remains unclear. Leveraging single-cell transcriptome analysis from both our own and publicly available datasets, we identified Ccrl2 macrophages as particularly vulnerable during the early stages of aging.
