Claim 11:
12. A method of inducing dentin regeneration over exposed vital pulp in a cavity of a tooth, the method comprising:
(a) administering recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF) directly to exposed vital pulp in a cavity of a tooth; wherein the rhPDGF is in direct contact with the exposed vital pulp;
(b) placing mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) over the rhPDGF administered to the exposed vital pulp in step (a), wherein the placed MTA is in contact with dentin at a periphery of the site of the exposed vital pulp; and
(c) sealing the cavity with a permanent dental filling after step (b);, wherein regenerated dentin is formed in the tooth between the exposed vital pulp and the placed MTA.
