Research Abstract

Dental pulp stem cells and periodontal ligament stem cells were successfully isolated from extracted teeth of experimental beagle dogs. These cells were confirmed to regenerate mineralized tissue when transplanted into immunocompromised mice. It was shown that surrounding mesenchymal cells regulates maturation of human ameloblastic cells. It was proved that simvastatin is possibly used as pulp capping agent that enhances reparative dentinogenesis.
