“…In this context, culture of pulp cells appears as a promising tool to ensure the dental tissue regeneration (Bohl et al, 1998;Mitsiadis and Rahiotis, 2004). In culture, dental pulp cells are able to synthesize a specific matrix resembling dentin (Kasugai et al, 1993;Panagakos, 1998;Shiba et al, 1998;Onishi et al, 1999;About et al, 2000;Couble et al, 2000;Zhang et al, 2005). These cells are usually cultured in Eagle's basal medium, MEM, α-MEM or D-MEM and the supplementation with β-glycerophosphate or dexamethasone is a prerequisite to observe odontoblastlike differentiation, nodule formation and mineralization.…”
