| Research Abstract |
Functional TRPV1- Na+-Ca2+exchager coupling mediates Ca2+extrusion to drive reactional dentinogenesis and maintain [Ca2+]ihomeostasis. This study suggests that two separate dental pulp functions, that in protective dentin formation and that in sensory reception, are simultaneously driven by TRPV1, TRPM8, TRPA1 activation following stimuli applied external to odontoblasts.
