Abstract:Background/Aim. Chronic pulpitis (CP) is an inflammatory dental pulp
disorder associated with various pathophysiological mechanisms in its
origin. The aim of the study was to evaluate the changes in the pulp tissue
of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-? and establish
their relationship with the histological changes of pulp tissue, as well as
with the micromorphological changes, occurring in the mineralized tissue.
Methods. The study examined the dental pulp of 41 patients … Show more
