Abstract

Traditional pulp regeneration procedures that use a blood clot as a scaffold have produced histologic evidence of bone, cementum, and connective tissue growth within the root. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a bioactive scaffold containing growth factors that enhance wound healing. The aim of this study was to histologically compare the tissues generated when PRP or a blood clot is placed into teeth with preexisting necrotic pulps and periapical lesions. Twenty-four canine teeth from 6 immature ferrets were used. Two ferrets served as positive controls. Sixteen experimental canine teeth from 4 ferrets were infected, debrided, treated with a triple antibiotic paste, and randomly distributed to the following groups: group 1 (blood clot/Gelfoam), group 2 (PRP), and group 3 (no scaffold). At 3 months, the ferrets were sacrificed, and the tissues were evaluated histologically. Data were analyzed by using the Fisher exact test (P < .05). In 3 of 6 teeth in the PRP group, 2 of 6 teeth in the blood clot group, and 1 of 4 teeth in the no scaffold group, an ingrowth of hard tissues was observed in the apical third of the roots. When using PRP or a blood clot as a scaffold, we found significantly more apical narrowing and hard tissue deposi...Continue Reading

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
