In the current theme of dental pulp regeneration, biological and synthetic scaffolds are becoming a potential therapy for revitalization. The goal is to provide suitable environment cellular infiltration, proliferation, differentiation. extracellular matrix (ECM) represents natural scaffold material resembling native tissue chemical mechanical properties. past few years, ECM-based have shown promising results in terms progenitor cells recruitment, promotion constructive remodeling,...
A major cause of apical periodontitis after endodontic treatment is the bacterial infiltration which could have been challenged by presence a vital pulp. In this study, self-assembled, scaffoldless, three-dimensional (3D) tissues were engineered from dental pulp cells (DPCs) and assessed as device for regeneration. These placed into canal space human tooth root segments that capped on one end with calcium phosphate cement, entire system was implanted subcutaneously mice. Histological...
Abstract Introduction Trauma is one of the primary causes tooth loss and pulpal injury in adolescents children. Prior to regenerative endodontics, treatment necrotic, immature teeth with open apices was limited long‐term calcium hydroxide (Ca( OH ) 2 apexification subsequent root canal therapy or extraction. Through revascularization, retention these can be achieved elimination patient symptoms radiographic appearance continued development were obtained. Case Review This report illustrates a...
Prep-4-RT is a co-designed stepped-care multimodal prehabilitation program for people scheduled to receive radiotherapy head and neck cancer (HNC). Prehabilitation, which occurs between diagnosis treatment commencement, aims improve patient's health reduce the incidence severity of current future impairments. HNC can be distressing has detrimental impacts on function quality life. patients have increased social vulnerabilities including higher rates socio-economic disadvantage engagement in...
Abstract The aim of the study was to examine effect operator experience on quality instrumentation molar canals using TF Adaptive file system (SybronEndo, Orange, CA) a 3D‐printed replica model. Three novice and two expert operators instrumented root three replicas each resulting pre‐ postinstrumentation 12 micron voxel size‐microCT volumes were digitally registered. Relative modified canal wall surface fraction transportation (1–9 mm from apex) calculated analysed by anova . Instrumentation...
