Objective: To compare the biological characteristics of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and inflamed dental pulp derived stem cells (I-DPSCs) in vitro and their regeneration potential in Beagle immature premolars.
Methods: Pulpitis was induced in the premolars of one beagle dog by opening the pulp chamber for 2 weeks, and inflammation was histologically confirmed. DPSCs and I-DPSCs were isolated from normal and inflamed dental pulp, and cell morphology, expression of mesenchymal stem cell markers, clone formation ability, cell proliferation and osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation potential were compared. The dental pulp of 20 roots from 10 immature premolars was extracted and divided into two groups. DPSCs or I-DPSCs with scaffolds were transplanted into the root canals. The roots were extracted after 3 months, and pulp regeneration was evaluated by histological analysis. The data were statistically analysed using one-way ANOVA and a Student t test.
Results: Histological analyses showed lymphocyte infiltration and elevated TNF-α expression, which confirmed the diagnosis of pulpitis. I-DPSCs showed similar morphology, marker gene expression and clone formation ability but greater proliferation ability and osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation potential. Pulp-like tissue formation and bone- and dentine-like tissue deposition were observed in both DPSC- and I-DPSC-transplanted roots.
Conclusion: DPSCs derived from inflammatory dental pulp tissue have similar biological characteristics to those from normal dental pulp and could mediate pulp and dentine regeneration in immature premolars.

Negotiation of the intricate pulp canal space may pose a challenge in endodontic treatment. Consequently, appropriate diagnosis and thorough knowledge of the pattern and distribution of root canal systems are imperative for a more predictable outcome in the treatment of pulp diseases. Accordingly, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is deemed appropriate as an adjunctive diagnostic tool in endodontics.

Objective: This study investigated the associations among endodontic instruments, ultrasonic tips and various final irrigation protocols for removing intracanal and intratubular biofilms in long oval canals.
Methodology: One hundred mandibular premolars inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis were divided into two groups: the control group (CG: n = 10), which received no treatment; and the test groups (n = 30), which included saline (SS), sodium hypochlorite (2.5% NaOCl) and chlorhexidine (2% CHX).

: Chemotherapy (CMT) in children can disrupt dental development and calcification, causing long-term dental issues, but good dental care and habits can help improve quality of life. This case report examines permanent dental disturbances in a 7-year, 4-month-old girl undergoing CMT, explores the histology of microdontia, and outlines an oral treatment plan for CMT management. : Clinical examination revealed microdontia and a groove crossing the cervical area (chronological hypoplasia), which were assessed using panoramic radiographs and histological analysis.
