Histological observation on transforming growth factor- β compounded with bone morphogenetic protein as a pulp capping material
Abstract：AIM: Observation of the effects of transforming growth factor- β compounded with bone morphogenetic protein (TGF- β/BMP) on the exposed pulp of dogs. METHODS: The teeth of dogs were used for direct pulp capping experiment and the results were evaluated histopathologically. RESULt: Eight weeks postoperatively TGF- β/BMP was able to induce the proliferations of the pulp cells (fibroblasts)and endothelial cell, inhibit the inflammatory reaction of pulp, and possessed the ability to enhance the pulp repairing, complete dentin bridge was induced. CONCLUSION:TGF- β/BMP can promote the regeneration of dog's pulp tissue.
