Although some previous studies have recommended an interval of 2-6 weeks between first and second appointments for endodontic regeneration treatment,27 other studies have suggested that exposure to antibiotic pastes for periods of between 4-12 weeks may have a negative effect on the physical structure of dentin,5,27 leading to demineralization of the dentin matrix and an increased susceptibility to fracture.5

ISLAMABAD -- The rising prevalence of dental erosion and dentin hypersensitivity has led to the emergence of more and more toothpastes on the market that claim to treat these problems.

Toothpaste alone does not prevent dental erosion or hypersensitivity

The aim of caries excavation is to remove dentin contaminated by bacteria without removal of sound tooth structure, and maintain the vitality of the pulp (1).

Efficacy of removal of cariogenic bacteria and carious dentin by ablation using different modes of Er:YAG lasers

The microorganisms are able to diffuse the root dentin up to a depth of more than 1 mm; however, disinfecting solutions achieve a depth of only approximately 100 [micro]m (6, 7).

Bactericidal Effect of Different Power Parameters of Potassium-Titanylphosphate Laser on Enterococcus faecalis

The selective removal to firm dentin [7] enables the change in the carious lesion microenvironment, decreases the number and bacterial diversity which stops the carious lesion progression, reduces the risk of pulp exposure [8], and preserves pulp vitality [6].

It is well known that dentin matrix contains such MMPs, and that once they are activated by odds such as adhesive procedures, they can slowly degrade the collagen fibrils of resin-infiltrated hybrid layers (De Munck et ad., 2010; Pashley et al., 2011).

Those cells are responsible for the regenerative processes of the odontoblasts and the dentin, and under certain conditions undergo divisions which recreate an undifferentiated cell; the undifferentiated cell is then able to synthesize the extracellular matrix [4].
