Objective: The aim of the study was to determine blood groups and Rhesus factor from dentin and pulp using absorption-elution (AE) technique in different time periods at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, respectively.
Materials And Methods: A total of 150 cases, 30 patients each at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months were included in the study. The samples consisted of males and females with age ranging 13-60 years. Patient's blood group was checked and was considered as "control." The dentin and pulp of extracted teeth were tested for the presence of ABO/Rh antigen, at respective time periods by AE technique.
Statistical Analysis: Data were analyzed in proportion. For comparison, Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was used for the small sample.
Results: Blood group antigens of ABO and Rh factor were detected in dentin and pulp up to 12 months. For both ABO and Rh factor, dentin and pulp showed 100% sensitivity for the samples tested at 0 month and showed a gradual decrease in the sensitivity as time period increased. The sensitivity of pulp was better than dentin for both the blood grouping systems and ABO blood group antigens were better detected than Rh antigens.
Conclusion: In dentin and pulp, the antigens of ABO and Rh factor were detected up to 12 months but showed a progressive decrease in the antigenicity as the time period increased. When compared the results obtained of dentin and pulp in ABO and Rh factor grouping showed similar results with no statistical significance. The sensitivity of ABO blood grouping was better than Rh factor blood grouping and showed a statistically significant result.

Research Institute, Ballys Co. Ltd, Incheon, Republic of Korea.
Background/purpose: Pulp polyp is often eliminated as dental waste. Pulp polyp cells were reported to have high proliferation activity which might be comprised of stem cells. However, little has been known on the presence of stem cells in the pulp polyp.

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.

Background: Indirect pulp treatment (IPT) is often employed in dentistry as a valuable technique for preserving dental vitality. While mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) remains a popular choice, the need for materials with shorter setting times, lower costs, and minimized discoloration concerns has led to the exploration of alternative options.
Aim: To evaluate and compare the radiographic and clinical outcomes of gel-based MTA Kids e-MTA (Kids-e-Dental, Mumbai, India) with MTA (ProRoot MTA, Dentsply Tulsa, Johnson City, TN, USA).

Aim: To investigate the effects of osteopontin (OPN) on cultured human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) in relation to adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization.
Methodology: Subcultured hDPCs isolated from healthy human wisdom teeth were inoculated on noncoated (NC, control) and OPN-coated nontissue culture-treated polystyrene plates (Non-TCPS). Cell adhesion and proliferation were analyzed by crystal violet staining and the CCK-8 assay, respectively.
