“…A more intense inflammatory response was noted in the EMD group with mild responses being noted in the MTA and MTA/EMD group. Wang et al reviewed the endodontic applications of EMD as reported in the dental literature . The review included 17 animal studies and 12 human case series and clinical trials.…”

“…Wang et al reviewed the endodontic applications of EMD as reported in the dental literature. 62 The review included 17 animal studies and 12 human case series and clinical trials. The authors concluded that the reported results are highly variable with some studies describing theirs results of EMD-VPT as twofold superior to that of calcium hydroxide-VPT.…”

“…Indeed, based on our improved understanding of the natural restoration process of the pulpdentin complex, some researchers have tried to treat pulp diseases by using biological methods to form regenerative tissue (Iohara et al, 2004). In addition, certain bioactive proteins may help to reduce the initial inflammation, attract stem cells in the pulp to the damaged site, stimulate stem cell proliferation, induce stem cells to differentiate into odontoblasts, and promote the deposition of restorative dentin; however, the roles of such bioactive proteins have only recently been characterized in the formation of hard tissues, and their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial functions are unclear (Wang et al, 2018).…”
When pulp tissue is damaged by caries or trauma, vital pulp therapy (VPT) can help preserve the pulp tissue for long-term retention of teeth. However, the choice of pulp capping agent used in VPT is important for the successful preservation of the pulp tissue. Here we investigated the expression and biological function of human βdefensin 4 (HBD4) in dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) and explored its potential as a pulp capping agent. We examined the expression of HBD4 in DPSC in vitro using qPCR and immunofluorescence staining. We also looked at the effect of HBD4 on inflammatory factors in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated DPSC, and its effects on mineralizing cell phenotype differentiation, via qPCR and western blot. Finally, we examined the ability of HBD4 to promote the restoration of the pulp-dentin complex in vivo, using male Wistar rats with reversible pulpitis. We found HBD4 was highly expressed in DPSC stimulated by TNF-α and IL-1α. HBD4 down-regulated the expression of inflammatory mediators (i.e., IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) in LPS-stimulated DPSC, and suppressed MAPK activity and the NF-κB pathway. HBD4 also enhanced the differentiation of DPSC into osteoblasts or odontoblasts, potentially by modulating the Notch pathway. Furthermore, HBD4 controlled the degree of pulp inflammation in a rat model of reversible pulpitis and induced the formation of restorative dentin. Together our findings indicate HBD4 may be a useful pulp capping agent for use in VPT.
“…O reimplante dentário é um procedimento odontológico feito em situações especificas e não muito frequente na prática clínica (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). Sabe-se que quando o reimplante é realizado, uma das consequências esperadas é a anquilose, devido ao dano do ligamento periodontal (LP) (1,(6)(7)(8)(9).…”

“…Entretanto, após o reimplante, outras situações podem ocorrer, tais como reabsorção substitutiva e reabsorção externa inflamatória (9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Contudo, essas consequências podem ser evitadas ou simplesmente controladas se algumas medidas de preservação e uma adequada terapia endodôntica for realizada (4,5,(13)(14)(15).…”
O reimplante dentário destaca-se como um procedimento conservador, sendo a conduta não-protética que pode ser realizada em casos de avulsão, evitando sequelas estéticas, funcionais e psicológicas junto ao paciente. Para controlar os processos reabsortivos que se desencadeiam devido a lesão no ligamento periodontal, o tratamento endodôntico se faz necessário. Objetivo: apresentar uma revisão de literatura sobre o manejo endodôntico de dentes reimplantados, elucidando os aspectos clínicos, radiográficos e fisiológicos envolvidos no processo e, também, confeccionar um guia de consulta para prática clínica. Conclusão: O reimplante dentário auxilia no aspecto psicológico decorrente da perda dentária, sendo a endodontia uma etapa fundamental no processo. Ao final do tratamento Endodôntico de um dente re-implantado, com uso da medicação intracanal adeaquada, a saber hidróxido de cálcio, espera-se um dente clinicamente assintomático e radiograficamente ausência de sinais de reabsorção e lesão apical. Contudo, o acompanhamento clínico e radiográfico do paciente deve ser feito por pelo menos cinco anos.
