AI Article Synopsis

  • Direct pulp capping (DPC) is a dental procedure where exposed pulp is covered with materials to help it heal and form a protective dentin bridge.
  • Calcium hydroxide is the traditional choice for this, but mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and rosuvastatin are also studied for their effectiveness in promoting pulp healing.
  • The study aims to compare the effects of rosuvastatin and MTA on pulp-dentin complex reactions in permanent human molars after DPC, focusing on reparative dentin formation over a 90-day period.

Article Abstract

Unlabelled: Direct pulp capping (DPC) includes covering the exposed pulp with a medication, dressing, or dental material to preserve its vitality. The idea behind this method of therapy is to induce the pulp to start a dentin bridge, "walling" the exposed site in the process. The most effective dental material to heal exposed pulp is calcium hydroxide. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) causes the formation by causing cytologic and functional alterations in pulpal cells. Rosuvastatin shows pleiotropic effects like increased odontoblastic differentiation, increased mineralization, proliferation of odontoblasts, and induction of angiogenesis. Thus, the aim of the present study is to investigate pulp-dentin complex reactions following DPC with rosuvastatin vs MTA as pulp-capping materials in permanent human molars.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • 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.

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.

Effect of vasoconstriction by dexmedetomidine in the mandible of rat.

J Dent Anesth Pain Med

December 2024

Department of Dental Anesthesiology, Ohu University, School of Dentistry, Fukushima, Japan.

Background: In recent years, dexmedetomidine (DEX) has been proposed as a useful vasoconstrictor for local anesthesia because it is less effective in circulation than clonidine of antihypertensive drugs. In addition, DEX is expected to act as a vasoconstrictor during local anesthesia. However, histomorphometric studies demonstrating that DEX exerts vasoconstrictive effects are lacking.
