Provided is a dental pretreatment material for dental tissue regeneration by use of dental pulp stem cells, particularly a dental pretreatment material effectively enabling dental tissue regeneration even by use of dental pulp stem cells of middle-aged or older individuals. The dental pretreatment material is characterized by comprising a serine protease, specifically trypsin. The dental pretreatment material comprising trypsin is used as an injection into a root canal before a root canal filling material comprising dental pulp stem cells and an extracellular matrix is inserted into the root canal as an attempt to regenerate a dental pulp and a dentin. The root canal filling material includes an ALK5 inhibitor, a CCR3 antagonist, or a CCL11 neutralizing antibody.

The present invention relates to a composition for a single-paste type hydraulic endodontic filling material comprising dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a single-paste type hydraulic endodontic filling composition, comprising a calcium silicate component and DMSO.

An odontoblast proliferation/differentiation promoting agent contains a calcium salt of 4-(meth)acryloyloxyethyltrimellitic acid.

The invention is in the field of caries prevention and treatment, in particular minimally-invasive, or non-invasive dental decay treatment. It relates to a composition and a kit comprising a self-assembling peptide, such as the self-assembling peptide P11-4 or P11-8, and a dental agent, namely a dental sealant, e.g. a glass-ionomer cement-based sealant or a resin-based sealant, a fluoride varnish, a dental restorative material or a bonding agent. The invention further relates to a composition and kit comprising a self-assembling peptide and a dental agent for use in the treatment of a carious lesion, preferably a cavitated carious lesion. The self-assembling peptide prevents secondary caries after failure of the dental agent used in treatment of cavitated caries, especially in case of a failing interface between the restoration with the dental agent and the tooth. The composition and kit of the present invention may also be used for pulp capping.

A dental tissue regenerative composition. The composition includes a combination of (1) human dental pulp stem cells and (2) at least one of human umbilical vein endothelial cells or vascular endothelial growth factor. The combination is encapsulated in a light-activated gelatin methacrylate hydrogel.

A natural and sustainable material is derived from the nut of the tagua palm tree that may be fashioned into devices for humans and animals. A pulverized and reconstituted material is disclosed herein that is also treated with a low temperature atmospheric plasma treatment. In an embodiment, a biocompatible carrier gas is ionized to form a biocompatible atmospheric plasma stream. Material, such as nano-scale powdered hydroxyapatite, is introduced into the plasma stream, which is then applied to the natural nut material.
