Background and Objective Pulpitis is mainly caused by an opportunistic infection of the pulp
space with commensal oral microorganisms. Depending on the state of inflammation …

Dental tissue infection and disease result in acute and chronic activation of the innate
immune response, which is mediated by molecular and cellular signaling. Different cell …

Caries, pulpitis, and apical periodontitis increase health care costs and attendant loss of
economic productivity. They ultimately result in premature tooth loss and therefore …

Introduction Similar to other tissues, the dental pulp mounts an inflammatory reaction as a
way to eliminate pathogens and stimulate repair. Pulp inflammation is prerequisite for dentin …

Human dental pulp contains precursor cells termed dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) that show
self-renewal and multilineage differentiation and also secrete multiple proangiogenic and …

Despite significant healthcare advances in the 21st century, the exact etiology of dental
caries remains unsolved. The past two decades have witnessed a tremendous growth in our …

Pulpitis is the inflammatory response of the dental pulp to a tooth insult, whether it is
microbial, chemical, or physical in origin. It is traditionally referred to as reversible or …

Dental caries, the most common chronic infectious disease worldwide, has a complex
etiology involving the interplay of microbial and host factors that are not completely …

The long-term outcome of replanted avulsed permanent teeth is frequently compromised by
lack of revascularization, resulting in pulp necrosis. The purpose of this study was to …

Background Immunologic responses of the tooth to caries begin with odontoblasts
recognizing carious bacteria. Inflammatory propagation eventually leads to tooth pulp …
