The Dental Pulp [electronic resource] : Biology, Pathology, and Regenerative Therapies /
Goldberg, Michel.editor.
This book provides a detailed update on our knowledge of dental pulp and regenerative approaches to therapy. It is divided into three parts. The pulp components are first described, covering pulp cells, extracellular matrix, vascularization, and innervation as well as pulp development and aging. The second part is devoted to pulp pathology and includes descriptions of the differences between reactionary and reparative dentin, the genetic alterations leading to dentinogenesis imperfecta and dentin dysplasia, the pulp reaction to dental materials, adverse impacts of bisphenol A, and the effects of fluorosis, dioxin, and other toxic agents. The final part of the book focuses on pulp repair and regeneration. It includes descriptions of various in vitro and in vivo (animal) experimental approaches, definition of the pulp stem cells with special focus on the stem cell niches, discussion of the regeneration of a living pulp, and information on new strategies that induce pulp mineralization.
Description based upon print version of record.
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.
PULP BIOLOGY: Pulp Development -- Pulp Anatomy and Characterization of Pulp Cells -- Pulp Extracellular Matrix -- Pulp Vascularization -- Pulp Innervation -- Inflammatory Process in the Dental Pulp -- Pulp Aging: Fibrosis and Calcospherites.
