Immunohistochemical expression of TGF-β1 and osteonectin in engineered and Ca(OH)2-repaired human pulp tissues

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and osteonectin (ON) in pulp-like tissues developed by tissue engineering and to compare it with the expression of these proteins in pulps treated with Ca(OH)2 therapy. Tooth slices we...

Chitosan-collagen biomembrane embedded with calcium-aluminate enhances dentinogenic potential of pulp cells

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The development of biomaterials capable of driving dental pulp stem cell differentiation into odontoblast-like cells able to secrete reparative dentin is the goal of current conservative dentistry. In the present investigation, a biomembrane (BM) composed of a chitosan/collagen matrix embedded w...
