Outline of Final Research Achievements

The final goal of this study is to establish the regeneration therapy of dentin and pulp complex and periapical tissue. To achieve the aim, I develop and investigate dental cement (NSY-222) combined "the bioglass" which is kind of biomedical materials.
NSY-222 had suitable properties as dental material. It was suggested that tag-like structure formed in NSY-222 provided good penetration, NSY-222 was removed from root canal, and NSY-222 have biocompatibility for pulp and apical periodontal tissue. In addition, it was suggested that NSY-222 had the inducibility of calcified tissue .
