Hydrogel scaffold for dental pulp regeneration

Summary

Dental pulp is the soft, connective tissue found within teeth. It provides essential nutrients and is primarily responsible for responding to tooth damage. However, dental pulp is also prone to infection, especially in the presence of tooth decay. Today the most commonly used treatment for dental pulp damage and inflammation is root canal therapy (RCT), in which the dental pulp is completely removed and replaced with a solid material. This eliminates the inherent ability of the tooth to respond to damage, making it susceptible to fracture and loss. This technology is a hydrogel scaffold that can be used to replace damaged dental pulp. The hydrogel promotes dental pulp cell growth and biosynthesis, while regulating cell infiltration, migration, and morphology.
