| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study tested whether N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), anti-oxidant amino acid derivative, could control the effect of dental materials on osteoblasts and dental pulp. NAC improve osteoblastic viability by application of N-acetyl cysteine with increased level of intracellular glutathione reserves. A rat model was used to examine the potential of NAC as a direct-pulp-capping agent. NAC containing-collagen sponge was placed onto the exposed pulp in maxillary first molar of 8 week-old Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were sacrificed at 4 weeks post-operatively. Teeth were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and observed under a light microscopy. In vivo experiments, NAC induced reparative dentin. It was indicated that NAC induce dentin regeneration on dental material.
