Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to determine the antimicrobial and healing potential of propolis on direct dental pulp exposures. This study used 25 adult male rats. Pulp expo­sures were performed and animals were allocated to propolis and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2 groups. Animals were killed on days 5, 7, 10, and 14. The teeth were routinely processed for histological evaluation. Non-parametric tests were employed to analyze the data. No significant differences were found between study groups on the wound healing of the dental pulp. Both substances were com parable in exhibiting normal reorganization of the pulp and no increased vascularity, and were equally efficacious in maintaining a low inflammatory and microbial cell population as well as in stimulating the formation of reparative dentin.

Melatonin plays an essential role in the regulation of bone growth. The actions that melatonin exerts on odontoblasts may be similar to its action on osteoblasts. This research aimed to evaluate the pulp response to melatonin used for direct pulp capping to evaluate the antioxidant effect of melatonin administered orally and its influence on dental pulp. Direct pulp capping was performed on the upper molars of Sprague Dawley rats using melatonin or Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). The study groups were: MTA; Melatonin; MTA + Melatonin administered orally; and Melatonin + Melatonin administered orally. In the latter two groups, the animals drank water dosed with melatonin ad libitum (10 mg/100 mL). After 30 days, the animals were sacrificed, and 5 ml of blood, the kidneys, and the liver were extracted in order to evaluate oxidative stress using thiobarbituric acid reactive substances testing (TBARS). Fragments of the maxilla containing the study molars were prepared for histological evaluation. The degree of pulp inflammation and pulp necrosis, the presence of reparative dentin and dentin bridging the pulp chamber, the presence and regularity of the odontoblastic layer, and the presence of pulp fibrosis were evaluated. No significant differences were found between the four study groups for any of the studied histological variables. The oral administration of melatonin did not modify the local effects of MTA or melatonin on dental pulp, or reduce basal-level oxidative stress. The effect of melatonin on pulp is similar to that of MTA and may be used as an agent for direct pulp capping.

This study examined and compared wound healing between Thai propolis product and calcium hydroxide paste as pulp-capping agents after partial pulpotomy in New Zealand white rabbits. Forty incisor teeth from 10 rabbits were treated. Thirty-six teeth received class V cavity preparations with partial pulpotomy and application of either propolis or calcium hydroxide paste. Similar cavity preparations were performed in 2 teeth without any capping material as a positive control, whereas 2 teeth without the cavity preparation served as a negative control. Histological evaluation showed that both groups had dentin bridge formation. Dentinal tubules in the dentin bridge were more orderly arranged in the Thai propolis group than in the calcium hydroxide group. Wound healing and the median number of hyperemic blood vessels were not statistically significant different between the 2 groups. Thai propolis product may be used as a pulp-capping agent.

In the paper the significance of milk-feeding period for the formation of male reproductive health is experimentally shown. It has been found that the use of emotional stress and excessive phytoestrogenization, both separately and together, in male rats during breastfeeding leads to certain disorders of the reproductive system in adulthood. Modeled emotional stress or phytoestergenization on the principle of imprinting caused hyperostrogeny, androgen deficiency, changes in the ratio of androgenization/estrogenization in adulthood. The applied factors led to impaired spermatogenesis, inhibition of sexual activity, and decreased reproductive potential. In the stressed animals, the decrease in androgens was such that the testosterone levels did not differ from intact females. In the case of joint application of the factors in the suckling period, in adult male rats there were no clinically significant changes in the sperm count. The concentration of sex hormones corresponded to the physiological norm, sexual behavior was characterized by slightly differentiated changes. However, a 2.5-fold decrease in their fertility (or potential number of offspring) was critical and largest among all study groups. The latter indicates impaired spermatogenesis and the formation of defective sperm, that is, the problem of the parental genome, possibly epigenetic in nature.

<p><strong>Background: </strong>Calcium hydroxide has traditionally been used as the pulp capping material for pulpal exposures in permanent teeth. The tunnel defects in the barrier and the tendency for dissolution, however, fails to provide permanent protection to the pulp. Light curable resin based cements have been introduced to enable a better marginal seal and lesser dissolution. The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the response of human pulp following direct pulp capping with the new resin based Calcium silicate (TheraCal LC) and Calcium hydroxide with hydroxyapatite (Septocal LC) cements compared with calcium hydroxide (Dycal). <strong></strong></p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>72 intact human premolars scheduled for orthodontic extractions were exposed to direct pulp capping procedures using three different pulp capping agents. Teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups, Group A: Dycal, Group B: TheraCal LC, Group C: Septocal LC. The teeth were extracted at the end of 15 and 40 days’ and were evaluated histologically. They were scored for reparative dentin formation and inflammatory response. Inferential statistics was done using Chi square test<strong>. </strong><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Majority of the specimens in all three groups at the end of 15 days’ showed partial to lateral deposition of hard tissue. There was continuous deposition of hard tissue and severe inflammatory response at the end of 40 days’ in Dycal. There was partial deposition of hard tissue and reduced inflammatory response at the end of 40 days’ in TheraCal LC and Septocal LC. However, the results were not statistically significant between the three groups at two different time periods. <strong></strong></p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Light cured,<strong> </strong>Calcium silicate (TheraCal LC) and Calcium hydroxide with hydroxyapatite (Septocal LC) cements were as effective as calcium hydroxide (Dycal) in inducing the formation of reparative dentin and evoking inflammatory response.</p>

Carbonate apatite (CO3Ap) cement is a biocompatible material with the ability to induce osteogenesis and is widely studied as the bone substitute material. The similarity of bone to tooth structure in their organic and inorganic composition offers a good prospect of the application of CO3Ap for regeneration of dentin and pulp tissue repair. This study is a sequel of the previous study in the development of CO3Ap cement for dental application, particularly in pulp capping treatment. In this study, the CO3Ap cement is used to cover an exposed dental pulp in rats and histological evaluation was carried out to evaluate the formation of reparative dentin, which is one of the signs of positive pulp capping treatment outcome. The CO3Ap cement was made by combining 60% dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA) and 40% vaterite with 1 mol/L Na2HPO4 aqueous solution at liquid to powder ratio of 0.5 and conventional calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2], which is the golden standard for pulp capping material was used for control. The coronal part of dental pulp in Wistar Rat was exposed with a small dental bur until bleeding were visible. The CO3Ap cement was applied to the exposed pulp and covered with light cured glass ionomer cement. The same protocol was applied to the control groups using Ca(OH)2. The Evaluation of formation of reparative dentin was done in 3 weeks after application by histological observation. Reparative dentin was histologically visible for all samples in CO3Ap group, as well as in the Ca(OH)2 groups. None of the dental pulps were necrotic and the pulp showed no heavy chronic inflammation. The CO3Ap cement was able to maintain the vitality of the pulp with no sign of chronic inflammation. The formation of reparative dentin was observable in 3 weeks of evaluation. Investigation on other properties and in vivo studies in different types of perforation and animal are to be carried out for further development of this material in dental application.

Biocompatibility has been defined as the ability of a material to function in a specific site, in contact with host tissues but without inducing any undesirable local or systemic reaction.The aim of this study is to evaluate the biocompatibility of calcium hydroxide-based endodontic sealers and to compare it with a resin-based material, by measuring the degree of inflammation induced by these products after subcutaneous implantation in rats. We used 12 animals divided in 3 study groups and 1 control group; implants with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), AH26 and Sealapex were placed in subcutaneous tissue and histological evaluation was carried out after 7, 14 and 21 days. We obtained comparable results between MTA and Sealapex, which demonstrates that these materials have similar degrees of biocompatibility. Based on this experimental study, calcium hydroxide containing cements express similar biocompatibilities. Further clinical studies are necessary in order to evaluate the healing properties and apical seal of these materials.

The aim of this study was to elaborate a histological model of incisional skin wound healing in Sprague-Dawley rats. Under aseptic conditions two paravertebral full thickness skin incisions were performed on the back of 42 anesthetized male rats. Histological sections from tissue specimens were stained by hematoxylin and eosin, van Gieson, PAS + PSD, Mallory's phosphotungstic hematoxylin and azur and eosin and evaluated during the first seven days after surgery. Histological evaluation revealed that the regeneration of injured epidermis was completed five days after surgery. The inflammatory phase was recorded during the first three days of healing with the culmination of this phase between day one and day two. The beginning of the proliferative phase was dated to the first day and the peak during day five and day six. The initiation of the maturation and remodeling phase of the healing process was observed six days after wounding. At the layer of striated muscle, the centronucleated cells were described for the first time six days after surgery. The wound healing process of rat skin was histologically described during the first seven days. Results of this work can serve as an experimental model for further research using external pharmacological and physical factors (laser light, magnetic field) by which the wound healing can be favourably influenced.
