Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) have shown promising characteristics in terms of their proliferation and osteogenic differentiation potential, which could be of greater benefit in regenerative dentistry. However, obstacles remain in the in vitro cultivation of DPSCs, which significantly affect their growth and differentiating ability. Therefore in this study, we demonstrated the growth and osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs in the presence of media containing different combinations of serum and glucose to get an optimized combination of both. DPSCs were cultured in media containing combinations of low glucose (LG), low serum (LS), high glucose (HG), and high serum (HS). The proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were assessed in DPSCs cultured with these different combinations of culture conditions. High glucose high serum condition significantly inhibited the proliferation of DPSCs and also affected their …
