| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Therapeutic role of Colloidal Platinum Nanoparticles (CPN)in capping the Wister rat's exposed pulp was evaluated after 3, 7, and 28 days. The effects were compared with the effects of Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in similar experimental conditions. CPN showed favorable healing response in Wister rat's dental pulp. The responses were comparable to the responses of the "gold standard" pulp capping material MTA. Our observations were accepted for oral presentation in the 98th General Session of the IADR scheduled from March 18-21, 2020 at Washington DC, USA. Abstract's control ID: 3318137. Title: Effects of Colloidal platinum Nanoparticles on Dental Pulp. The characteristic of the mineralized tissue was evaluated at University of Granada, Spain, where I was also invited to deliver a lecture on our research achievement.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The study was designed carefully. The working plan was explicit. I stuck to the plans and worked hard to complete everything in time.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Experiments are being done to determine the mechanism of action, optimum dosage, and suitable carrier of Colloidal Platinum Nanoparticles.
