The objective of this study was to elucidate the wound healing mechanism of dentin-pulp complex. We investigated the effects of degraded dentin matrix proteins (DMPs) induced by acids or proteinases on the function of pulp cells. External acid or internal MMP molecules were found to degrade DMPs and pulp cells were promoted their proliferation or differentiation by degraded DMPs. These results indicated that degraded DMPs potentially affected the healing process of dentin-pulp complex.
