4. Jiang H.W., Zhang W., Ren B.P., et. Paranjpe A., Bordador L.C., Wang M.Y., et. 84. e122-e125. : Cytotoxicity evaluation of endosequence root repair material. J Endod 2009; 35: pp. When hemostasis can be attained, pulpal repair and reparative dentin formation can proceed normally, in the absence of microbial challenges, when MTA is used as the pulp dressing. Acidogenic gram-positive bacteria, predominantly oral streptococci and lactobacilli, produce metabolic by-products during active caries that demineralize enamel and dentin. Pulpal Reactions to Composite-Based Restorative Materials Kyriakis J.M., Banerjee P., Nikolakaki E., et. Sodium hypochlorite in concentrations of 1.5% to 6% is currently regarded as the most effective, safe, and inexpensive hemostatic solution for pulp capping and partial and complete pulpotomy procedures. 4. Successful outcomes were 80.1% after 1 year and 68% after 5 years; this diminished to 58.7% after a 9-year observation period. The continued deposition of dentin occurs throughout the length of the root, providing greater strength and resistance to fracture. In addition to maintaining the tooth, this option will ease and make a band and loop from permanent molar to primary first molar well tolerated (compared with the distal shoe appliance). Analyses of young dental pulps indicated a greater expression level in cell and tissue differentiation, proliferation, and development of the lymphatic, hematologic, and immune systems compared to older dental pulps where the apoptosis pathway is highly expressed. Thomas H.F.: The extent of the odontoblast process in human dentin. It is a highly specialized layer for the synthesis and secretion of the organic components of the dentin and has an epithelial layer that serves as a liner for the dental pulp. Similarly, the radiographic success rates were 95% for MTA and 92% for CEM. 56. Caries detector dyes can be considered a valuable tool in caries excavation when attempts are made to preserve remineralizable dentin and to minimize trauma to the pulp. Persistent infection engages the adaptive immune system, which can lead to edema and increased intrapulpal pressure, causing tissue destruction, acute phase protein production, and cell death, leading to tissue necrosis. 427-439. Pressoreceptors and proprioreceptors protect the dentin-pulp complex against excessive occlusal loading while circulating immune competent cells confront bacterial challenges. 2. 2. No layer of necrosis was seen in the pulp when MTA was used for pulp capping. Several procedures and materials have been used to induce root-end barrier formation. 3. After MTA pulp capping, both sialoprotein and osteopontin have been observed in the fibrodentin matrix at the exposure site during the process of reparative hard tissue formation. : TEGDMA-induced toxicity in human fibroblasts is associated with early and drastic glutathione depletion with subsequent production of oxygen reactive species. : The odontoblast process extends to the dentinoenamel junction: an immunocytochemical study of rat dentine. BioAggregate is a bioinductive tricalcium cement that can induce mineralization in osteoblast cells by increasing levels of osteocalcin, collagen type 1, and osteopontin gene expression. 1. The connective tissue in this zone contains collagen fibers and ground substance. Genes Dev 1995; 9: pp. Vital pulp al. The probability of pulps becoming nonvital after CH pulp capping was greater within the first 5 years of treatment. If the second inner layer can be identified and preserved during caries excavation, the remaining pulp tissue and odontoblasts subjacent to the carious zone will be subjected to less trauma, which contributes to pulpal protection and survival. As a result, the investigation concluded that the amount of hemorrhaging after pulp exposure was not a determining factor in the clinical outcome, contrary to other findings. 23-12 ). Reactions of the Pulp to Materials Used During Pulp Capping or Pulpotomy Procedures If the bacterial challenge continues, immune cell responses lead to increased inflammation and edema, initially characterized clinically by pulpal pain. Endodontics is defined as the branch of dentistry concerned with the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human dental pulp and periradicular tissues. These age-related transitions include continued dentin apposition, causing gradual narrowing of pulp volume and circumference. (Courtesy Dr. Michael Hülsmann, Göttingen, Germany.). 23-9 and 23-10 ). Biodentine is a tricalcium silicate–based cement that also demonstrates exceptional bioactive properties with potential for both direct and indirect pulp capping procedures. The process of apexification entails formation of calcified barrier for a tooth with an open apex. Progenitor cell differentiation may also be modulated during inflammation by activation of antigen-presenting dendritic cells or triggered by specific odontoblast and fibroblast membrane receptors. Science 1995; 270: pp. Gruythuysen R.J., van Strijp A.J., Wu M.K. Inability to provide a long-term seal against microleakage J Endod 1982; 8: pp. Patel and Cohenca also presented a case that demonstrates the use of MTA as a direct pulp capping material for the purpose of continued maturogenesis of the root. Outcome of Vital Pulp Therapy will depend on: Age of the patient Size of the pulp chamber Bacterial contamination The pulp capping material Quality of final restoration 6. 70. 1490-1493. 669-678. HEMA-induced apoptosis has been linked to the decrease in intracellular glutathione levels and the production of reactive oxygen species in the cells. One of the main causes of inflammation of the pulp is dental caries. It is recommended that practitioners gather additional information in each of the referenced areas before engaging in pulp therapy for children. The advance of invading microorganisms in carious lesions is the essential cause of pulpal inflammation and potential tissue necrosis. 818-821. Removal of caries may cause cessation of the inflammation but there is a continuous production of these proinflammatory cytokines, which could lead to irreversible pulpal damage followed by necrosis. Direct Pulp Therapy Root fractures commonly occur in the cervical third, and have been shown to have a rate of about 28-77% depending on the stage of root development. Partial pulpotomy for treating direct pulp exposures in immature permanent teeth using CH products has been shown to be a reliable treatment option with proper case selection. Although root canal treatment can prolong tooth survival, the cumulative loss of tooth structure from it and restorative care may precipitate tooth loss. Although the size of the pulp exposure has no significant bearing on the final outcome, some clinicians falsely assume that larger exposures have an unfavorable prognosis. Another promising material for vital pulp therapy is MTA-Angelus, which has a basic formulation of 25% bismuth oxide and 75% Portland cement. The structure of the dental pulp is similar to the other connective tissues in the body. This procedure is essential for the preservation of involved immature permanent teeth where root development may be incomplete and preservation of arch integrity is critical during maxillofacial development. 4. Stanislawski L., Daniau X., Lauti A., et. The main objective in caries removal is the identification and complete removal of the infected tissue while preserving sound tooth structure; this contributes to pulpal protection and continued vitality. Oral Microbiol Immunol 2007; 22: pp. Disinfect the cavity using 2.5% sodium hypochlorite for at least 1 minute. Calcifications in the pulp chamber vital pulp, however, can remain clinically functional.1 The indications, objectives, and type of pulpal therapy depend on whether the pulp is vital or nonvital, based on the clinical diagnosis of normal pulp (symptom free and normally responsive to vitality testing), reversible pulpitis (pulp is capable Thus, to be effective, calcium hydroxide needs to be in contact with noninflamed tissue located approximately 2 mm of pulp beneath exposure site. 52. The survival rate was 96% for primary molars (mean survival time, 146 weeks) and 93% for permanent teeth (mean survival time, 178 weeks). 78. 2. Ciasca M., Aminoshariae A., Jin G., et. In young patients, assessment of pulpal status before treatment is often difficult, but the probability of favorable outcomes increases with a diagnosis of reversible pulpitis or normal pulp (AAPD). Although not specifically discussed, effective local anesthesia and rubber dam usage are always required. A medicament is then placed over the carious dentin to stimulate and encourage pulp recovery. Proc Finn Dent Soc 1992; 88: pp. When decay or tooth preparation extends into the pulp chamber of the primary incisor or canine, first, an assessment of the vitality of the pulp must be made. Heyeraas K.J., Berggreen E.: Interstitial fluid pressure in normal and inflamed pulp. The activity of NF-κB is tightly regulated by cytokines and other external regulators. In young permanent teeth, the stage of root development directly influences the diagnosis and treatment options. Remove necrotic pulpal tissue to a level 1-mm short of the apical foramen. 54. NF-κB is the major transcription factor that is involved in the regulation of a variety of genes responsible for survival of the cells. The tooth pulp is a unique organ and is encased in a protective layer of dentin, which is encased by a layer of the enamel. A stainless steel crown is the restoration of choice after performing a primary molar pulpotomy. Fill root canal with calcium hydroxide and seal the access. Fifty-one direct MTA pulp caps completed in a carious field were radiographically and clinically evaluated for a 12- to 27-month period. Butler W.T., Bhown M., Brunn J.C., et. 4. MTA does not affect the generation of reactive oxygen species, thereby positively influencing cell survival. 159-168. As microorganisms advance toward the pulp, the modified helical structure in reparative dentin effectively constricts tubular lumen diameter and forms an active barrier against advancing pathogens ( Fig. The biocompatibility of set MTA up-regulates the expression of transcription factors, angiogenic factors, and gene products, such as dentin sialoprotein, osteocalcin, and alkaline phosphatase. Recent research has shown that MTA, when placed in direct contact with the human dental pulp cells, differentiated them into odontoblast-like cells. al. 64. The cellular mechanisms involved in pulp repair and bridge … Teeth that experience luxation-type injuries can discolor and may not respond to cold testing for up to 4 months before they recover normal color and vitality. After excavation, the remaining carious dentin is lined with CH and sealed with a provisional material, such as intermediate restorative material (IRM) or a resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI). Beg A.A., Baltimore D.: An essential role for NF-kappaB in preventing TNF-alpha-induced cell death. Veerayutthwilai O., Byers M.R., Pham T.T., et. Radiographic evidence of pulpal or periradicular pathosis Clean canal walls with moistened sterile cotton pellet. Recently a new material has been introduced, BioAggregate (BA) (Innovative BioCeramix, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada). 23-14 ). However, dyes allow the operator to visually inspect, under magnification, infected dentin that may have been overlooked, particularly at the dentinoenamel junction, a situation that may compromise the outcome for vital pulp therapy. Radiographs of carious molars in patients aged 12 to 38 years. al. Quintessence Int 2010; 41: pp. 7. Canals and the pulp chamber should be filled (as described previously) for primary anterior teeth. The advantage of revascularization procedures over apexification procedures is that it allows continued maturation of the root. The ultimate goals of vital pulp therapy are to preserve and protect the reversibly inflamed pulp tissue from additional injury, and to facilitate healing while maintaining the tooth and its ultimate position in the arch. Outcomes also depend on case selection, hemostatic agents, choice of pulp capping material, and the integrity of the sealed permanent restoration. Currently, the origin of the differentiated odontoblast-like cells remains controversial. The pulp contains numerous cells types, which include odontoblasts, fibroblasts, macrophages, dendritic cells, lymphocytes, mast cells, and undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells. Spontaneous pain Maintaining pulp vitality in these teeth reduces the probability of fracture, through continued growth and natural strengthening of the tooth structures. : Reduction of connexin 43 expression in aged human dental pulp. al. MTA activates the migration of progenitor cells from the central pulp to the injury site and promotes their proliferation and differentiation into odontoblast-like cells without inducing pulp cell apoptosis. Another investigation has confirmed decreasing success rates with CH pulp capping with extended recall periods. Mutoh N., Tani-Ishii N., Tsukinoki K., et. * Histologically, CH demonstrates cytotoxicity in cell cultures and has been shown to induce pulp cell apoptosis. Paranjpe A., Cacalano N.A., Hume W.R., et. 1116-1121. Once a tooth is affected by caries, some form of intervention is necessary to prevent further inflammation and ultimately necrosis. These materials include RMGI cements, composite resins, and hydrophilic resins. al. 39. During the setting process, the gradual release of calcium ions encourages reparative barrier formation by promoting signaling molecules, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (MCSF), TGF- β , and interleukins IL-1 β and IL-1 α . This is because harmful bacteria have already progressed into the pulp chamber and extended into the root canal system. Objectives. Nestor Cohenca DDS The radicular pulp chamber may be filled with a resorbable paste of either zinc oxide–eugenol or, preferably, calcium hydroxide with iodoform within the paste. Another material, calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement, has also demonstrated excellent physical and biologic properties in vital pulp therapy investigations. Histologic sections from these studies typically demonstrate the presence of inflammatory cell infiltrates consistent with pulp cell cytotoxicity, subclinical adhesive failures at the pulp interface, and a profound absence of biocompatibility. Butler W.T., D'Souza R.N., Bronckers A.L., et. 10. The formation of needle-like crystals and osmophilic material within vesicles proceeds with an accumulation of crystals and aggregate at the calcified fronts, along with the disappearance of the vesicular membrane. Takeuchi O., Akira S.: Pattern recognition receptors and inflammation. Failure was defined as the presence of either a clinical symptom (pain, swelling, or fistula) or radiologic abnormality at recall. The investigators concluded that the defense system in younger pulps was accomplished by calcification and in adult pulp is performed by self-defense proteins and regeneration of vessels. The cell-rich zone demonstrates a greater density of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells and fibroblasts than is present in the pulp proper. A stainless steel crown is then used to restore the tooth. At the cellular level, MTA has also been shown to induce the recruitment and proliferation of undifferentiated cells to form a dentinal bridge, while reducing inflammation compared with calcium hydroxide. When decay or tooth preparation extends into the coronal pulp, and the pulp is deemed vital (as described previously), a pulpotomy may be performed. The improved survival outcomes seen in this MTA pulp capping study can be credited to changes in established treatment protocols and the incorporation of improved pulp capping materials. Hydration of the cement results in the formation of calcium silicate hydrate and CH, showing high concentrations of silica and calcium phosphate. 25. Using a sterile round bur and/or a sharp spoon, amputate the coronal pulp. If the pulp does not bleed at all or bleeds at a hemorrhagic level, it may be infected beyond the coronal pulp, and a pulpectomy may be in order. : MTA-induced neutrophil recruitment: a mechanism dependent on IL-1beta, MIP-2, and LTB4. 684-688. A better insight into mechanisms of toxicity of dental materials is important for understanding the potential of these materials to cause adverse health effects in a clinical setting. An investigation examined 30 immature permanent teeth exhibiting wide-open apices directly pulp capped with MTA and restored temporarily with IRM. Dressing materials of varying toxicity have been used for this purpose, including ferric sulfate, creosote, phenol, zinc oxide eugenol, polycarboxylate cement, glutaraldehyde, CH, and formaldehyde; some of these dressing materials embalm any remaining tissue. Controlled hemorrhage The central pulp core consists of nerve fibers, blood vessels, fibroblasts, undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells, immunocompetent cells, ground substance, and collagen fibers. : Interleukin-1beta activity and collagen synthesis in human dental pulp fibroblasts. NF-κB is the major transcription factor that is involved in the regulation of a variety of genes responsible for survival of the cells. At the cellular level, MTA has also been shown to induce the recruitment and proliferation of undifferentiated cells to form a dentinal bridge, while reducing inflammation compared with calcium hydroxide. Teeth were extracted and then histologically evaluated at 1 week and 2, 3, 4, and 6 months. Histomorphologic examination of extracted teeth revealed that the two materials produced similar responses with regard to inflammation and hard tissue formation. 57. Because the faciolingual dimension of most immature roots is greater than the mesiodistal dimension, apical closure may be difficult to determine radiographically. One of the primary purposes of the human dental pulp is dentin formation. : Effect of bioaggregate on differentiation of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts. Vital pulp therapy in permanent teeth Potent microbial metabolites, such as lipoteichoic acid and lipopolysaccharide, also activate the innate immune system. J Biomed Mater Res 2000; 51: pp. Perhaps of greater importance may be the choice of pulp capping material and the quality of the permanent restoration. With the development of more biocompatible materials with high sealing properties, these teeth might have a better outcome with direct pulp therapy. Endod Dent Traumatol 1989; 5: pp. Cell poor zone: also called the cell free zone of Weil because it is relatively free of cells. Huang GT, Sonoyama W, Liu Y, et. Indications 3. Cytokine up-regulation is responsible for inducing biomineralization by producing apatite-like clusters on collagen fibrils at the MTA-dentin interface. The entire coronal pulp is removed circumferentially with a large round bur, pulling coronally to adequately deroof the pulp chamber and to avoid leaving any ledges or pulp tissue therein. Calcium hydroxide clearly has many favorable characteristics as a vital pulp therapy agent. Most clinical investigations clearly indicate that successful outcomes for vital pulp therapy decrease as the patient’s age increases. al. 1. SEM analysis demonstrates the sealing ability of Biodentine to be similar to that of MTA; Biodentine forms needle-like crystals resembling apatite at the dentin interface. Reynolds K, Johnson JD, Cohenca N.: Pulp revascularization of necrotic bilateral bicuspids using a modified novel technique to eliminate potential coronal discolouration: a case report. Apexification is defined as a method of inducing a calcified barrier in a root with an open apex or the continued apical development of an incompletely formed root in teeth with necrotic pulp. The continual influx of labeled differentiating cells indicated that the original derivation was from the deeper, central pulp tissue that required two DNA replications before terminal differentiation. When decay or tooth preparation extends into the pulp chamber of the primary incisor or canine, first, an assessment of the vitality of the pulp must be made. Hence, this discussion has 2 parts: first, the materials that are placed in direct contact with the pulp, and second, restorative materials placed in the tooth after excavation of caries. J Biomed Mater Res A 2003; 66: pp. 81. 51. Endodontics is defined as the branch of dentistry concerned with the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human dental pulp and periradicular tissues. : Cytotoxicity comparison of mineral trioxide aggregates and EndoSequence bioceramic root repair materials. MTA most likely up-regulates fibroblast secretion of BMP-2 and TGF- β 1 and therefore stimulates and promotes mineralization and hard tissue regeneration. Pulpotomy and pulp capping are indicated for teeth that have had a pulp exposure after trauma or injury, which may include the process of caries excavation in developing or mature teeth. 225-231. 281-284. 3. 1. : Histological, ultrastructural and quantitative investigations on the response of healthy human pulps to experimental capping with mineral trioxide aggregate: a randomized controlled trial. Partial pulpotomy is the preferred option in elective treatment procedures for teeth diagnosed with anatomic anomalies, such as dens invaginatus. Cell 2010; 140: pp. Caries removal has traditionally been completed somewhat subjectively using hand instruments and slow-speed burs. 2. Other studies have shown that MTA induced cells to secrete IL-8 and IL-1β. Such long treatment planning may cause crown-root fracture at the cervical area (thin and weak dentinal walls), coronal leakage and recontamination of the root canal space and dentinal tubules, lack of compliance from the patients to come to several appointments, and failure to provide an esthetic and final restoration of the crown. J Dent Child (Chic) 2009; 76: pp. TLR-2 and TLR-4 have been immune-localized in human odontoblasts. : Pulp capping materials exert an effect on the secretion of IL-1beta and IL-8 by migrating human neutrophils. 23-11 ). Removal of caries may cause cessation of the inflammation but there is a continuous production of these proinflammatory cytokines, which could lead to irreversible pulpal damage followed by necrosis. 6 The coronal tissue is amputated, and the remaining radicular tissue is judged to be vital without suppuration, purulence, necrosis, or excessive hemorrhage that cannot be controlled by a damp cotton pellet after … 68. Alternately, with an accurate diagnosis and early intervention, new strategies for pulp preservation promote a domain for continued hard tissue formation that encourages apexogenesis. Partial pulpotomy (shallow pulpotomy, or Cvek pulpotomy) is defined as the removal of a small portion of the vital coronal pulp as a means of preserving the remaining coronal and radicular pulp tissues. Dent Traumatol 2006; 22: pp. Odontoblasts are credited with formation of the mineralized predentin-dentin matrix, which is composed of an assortment of molecules, including phosphoproteins, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and sialoproteins. Vital pulp tissue comprises various cell populations that include fibroblasts or pulpoblasts, undifferentiated mesenchymal cells, odontoblasts, macrophages, dendritic cells, and other immunocompetent cells. Direct pulp capping is defined as “placing a dental material directly on a mechanical or traumatic vital pulp exposure” and “sealing the pulpal wound to facilitate the formation of reparative dentin and maintenance of the vital pulp.” The procedure is indicated for pulp exposures incurred as a result of caries removal, trauma, or tooth preparation. al. : Tissue engineering strategies for immature teeth with apical periodontitis. Immune cells attempt to control neurogenic inflammation with the secretion of peptides such as somatostatin and β- endorphin . A diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis, based on signs and symptoms, along with clinical testing procedures, does not preclude vital pulp therapy options. al. al. Indirect pulp capping has been defined as a procedure in which a small amount of carious dentin is retained in deep areas of cavity preparation to avoid an exposure of the pulp. IL-1β has been shown to induce the synthesis of collagen, resulting in a more organized response of the pulp and assisting in the healing process. Most preliminary experimental and current clinical data in vital pulp therapy are based on the proprietary material ProRoot MTA (Tulsa/Dentsply, Tulsa, Oklahoma). Recent advances in pulp biology and dental materials have provided alternative treatment strategies for healthy and partially inflamed pulps. Nair and colleagues also demonstrated decreased inflammation when MTA was used compared with calcium hydroxide. If there is the ability to retain the tooth in the mouth via pulpectomy and careful monitoring of the tooth to reduce or eliminate local infection, while waiting for a permanent molar to erupt (in the case of second primary molar infection), this treatment option may be performed with careful monitoring as a transitional treatment. JNK belongs to the family of mitogen-activated protein kinases that comprise of a group of serine/threonine kinases, which are responsible for phosphorylation and mediation of signal transduction from extracellular stimuli. This provides the pulp a low-compliance environment and receives its blood supply from the blood vessels that traverse through the apical foramen. Unlike conventional root canal therapy, maintaining pulp vitality enables the roots of immature teeth to continue growing. Patients with deep carious lesions often experience sensitivity to cold, heat, or sweet or acidic foods, and cold tests may evoke a short lingering response of 1 to 2 seconds. Int Endod J 2005; 38: pp. MTA, BA, or calcium hydroxide is laid over the pulp stump to a thickness of 2–3 mm. : The stress-activated protein kinase subfamily of c-Jun kinases. The odontoblastic zone lines the pulp circumference as an epithelioid layer and includes the large, columnar-shaped odontoblasts, nerve fibers, capillaries, and dendritic cells. Treatment of Nonvital Immature Teeth Pulpotomy is a form of pulp therapy which involves the removal of coronal pulp tissue that is inflamed as a result of deep caries. Responses to cold testing were normal, although the patient complained of a sleepless night. Immunohistochemical analyses show that cytokines, including myeloperoxidase, inducible nitric oxide synthase, VEGF, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF- κ B), activating protein-1, and cyclooxygenase-2, show increased expression in the presence of MTA. Place calcium hydroxide, MTAs, or BA directly over the exposure site; do not force it into the pulp. Conversely, if the pulp is vital, there should be few or no bacteria present in the root pulp space and thus the disease (apical periodontitis) should not be present. 84-92.
