Dentin hypersensitivity is among the most frequently reported dental concerns. This condition primarily occurs due to dentin exposure to thermal, chemical or osmotic stimuli, thereby causing extreme ...

Teeth are composites of mineral and protein, with a bulk of bony dentin that is highly porous. This structure allows teeth to be both strong and sensitive. Besides calcium and phosphate, teeth contain ...

Human digested dentin matrix extract (DDME) may be used as a biomaterial for dentin regeneration, making it a possible option for vital pulp therapy like pulpotomy, according to an animal study ...

Bacterial plaque causes tooth decay due to acids produced by different bacteria species; this has trigged an intense research activity for the development of novel restorative biomaterials with ...

Researchers have embedded piezoelectric zinc oxide within mesoporous bioactive glass nanospheres that, when activated by ...

Odontoblasts are postmitotic cells that differentiate from the dental papilla. These cells are responsible for producing the calcified dentin matrix. The pulp-odontoblast interphase contains ...

Researchers have shown that the matrix protein fibronectin reprograms macrophages in damaged dental pulp into pro-angiogenic ...

Dentin hypersensitivity is an oral condition characterized by a sharp pain in the affected tooth or teeth. The stimuli expose the dentin. It typically responds to thermal, evaporative, tactile, or ...
