Article Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate combined effects of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and propolis on odontoblastic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and to find a signaling pathway involved. Combination of MTA and propolis significantly up-regulated the expression of DSPP and DMP1, and facilitated a mineral nodule formation (< 0.05). Treatments with MTA, propolis or combined increased the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), one of mitogen-activated protein kinases signaling cascades during odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs (< 0.05), and U0126, an inhibitor of ERK, decreased calcium deposits (< 0.05). Combination of MTA and propolis promotes odontogenic differentiation and mineralization of DPSCs through ERK pathway.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to create a rapid admixture of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for chairside use in clinical settings to remediate the challenges associated with root canal treatment and pulp capping.
Methods: Synthesized AgNPs at ratios of 10 and 25% were added to commercially available MTA to create an admixture. The admixture was subjected to structural and morphological assessment using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy.

Background: Advanced materials and techniques are used to successfully manage the apexification of immature teeth with open apices. The use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), bioceramic sealers, and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), combined with internal heating and ultrasonic activation, ensures that canals are cleaned, disinfected, and sealed properly. Magnification devices, such as dental operating microscopes (DOM), provide precise visualization for accurate material placement, while the micro apical placement system ensures void-free MTA delivery.

The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine (BD) as direct pulp capping materials in cariously exposed mature permanent teeth, focusing on outcomes such as pulp vitality preservation, dentin bridge formation, and complication rates, including tooth discoloration. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and other dental databases following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023463513).

Regenerative endodontics utilizes stem cell biology and bioactive materials to restore pulp vitality. Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs), with their self-renewal and odontogenic differentiation potential, are central to regenerative endodontics. Hydraulic calcium silicate-based cements (HCSCs), such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France), are widely used in vital pulp therapies to promote pulp vitality recovery.
