Dental pulp regeneration: An overview of the current approaches. Regenerative Endodontic Procedures (REPs) are biologically based procedures aimed at restoring the damaged structures and physiological functions of the pulp-dentine complex. Clinically, two strategies have been proposed so far to induce REP: cell transplantation and cell homing. REPs success relies primarily on the clinical and biological conditions of the tooth; therefore, cell homing strategies will not be consistently successful in every condition. Root canal treatment remains the standard of care for mature teeth with necrotic pulps and closed apex.

Human dental pulp stem cells (HDPSCs) with multi-lineage differentiation potential and migration ability are required for HDPSC-based bone and dental regeneration. Hispidulin is a naturally occurring flavonoid with diverse pharmacological activities, but its effects on biological properties of HDPSCs remain unknown. Therefore, we investigated the effects of hispidulin on the differentiation potential and migration ability of HDPSCs and elucidated their underlying mechanisms.

A novel water-soluble root canal filling material based on sodium iodide (NaI) has been developed to overcome the limitations of existing iodine-based formulations. However, the biological stability of this approach in animal studies remains unverified. This study evaluated the biocompatibility of NaI compared to commercial root canal filling materials (Calcipex II and Vitapex) in pulpectomized canine teeth to assess its clinical applicability.

Introduction: Establishing an optimized regenerative microenvironment for pulp-dentin complex engineering has become increasingly critical. Recently, exosomes have emerged as favorable biomimetic nanotherapeutic tools to simulate the developmental microenvironment and facilitate tissue regeneration.
Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the multifaceted roles of exosomes from human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) that initiated odontogenic differentiation while sustaining mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) characteristics in odontogenesis, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis during pulp-dentin complex regeneration.

Pulpotomy, which belongs to vital pulp therapy, has become a strategy for managing pulpitis in recent decades. This minimally invasive treatment reflects the recognition of preserving healthy dental pulp and optimizing long-term patient-centered outcomes. Pulpotomy is categorized into partial pulpotomy (PP), the removal of a partial segment of the coronal pulp tissue, and full pulpotomy (FP), the removal of whole coronal pulp, which is followed by applying the biomaterials onto the remaining pulp tissue and ultimately restoring the tooth.

Article Synopsis
- Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) show promise for muscle injury repair, but their ability to differentiate into muscle cells is currently limited.
- Treating DPSCs with Noggin, which inhibits bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signals, enhances myogenic differentiation, increases myogenic markers, and generates satellite-like cells, improving muscle regeneration.
- Implanting Noggin-treated DPSCs in a mouse model of muscle loss resulted in significant reductions in defect size and scar tissue, indicating that BMP/Smad signaling regulation by Noggin effectively promotes muscle repair.
