... is, apparently, associated with death of odontoblasts followed by replacement by odontoblast-like cells that were postulated to originate from uncharacterised pulp stem cells [Magloire et al., 1992; Kawashima, 2012]. These odontoblast-like cells then produce reparative dentin underlying the affected dentinal...

...S. Karjalainen; Kauko K. Mäkinen Coronal odontoblast-predentine tissue was collected from intact teeth and from teeth with various types of occlusal caries. Lactate (LDH) and malate (MDH) dehydrogenase-like activities in the non-sedimentable (20,200 g), saline-soluble tissue extracts were measured...

... molecules and growth factors signal tertiary dentinogenesis. Application of dentin matrix components or growth factors in deep dentinal cavities stimulated up-regulation of biosynthetic activity of primary odontoblasts (reactionary dentin formation). Pulp-capping studies with a broad spectrum of biological...
