During this conference, the interaction of tricalcium silicates with dentin and pulp tissues will be presented. This will be illustrated through different culture models of isolated human pulp fibroblasts, pulp stem cells, endothelial cells and entire human tooth cultures. The effect of tricalcium silicates on the interaction between different pulp cell populations leading to pulp/dentin regeneration will be presented. The consequences adding resins to tricalcium silicates will also be reported and explained.
This will allow a better understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the induction of mineralization and dentin bridge formation when tricalcium silicates are used in direct pulp capping.
