Differentiation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells on Gutta-Percha Scaffolds

Differentiation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells on Gutta-Percha Scaffolds

Advances in treatment of tooth injury have shown that tooth regeneration from the pulp was a viable alternative of root canal therapy. In this study, we demonstrated that Gutta-percha, nanocomposites primarily used for obturation of the canal, are not cytotoxic and can induce differentiation of dent...
