In endodontic treatment, your dentist will remove the diseased pulp tissue and inflamed. Because the dental pulp tissue usually have this pain will not be able to return to normal and healthy tend to be dead or non-vital.
Now through research conducted by Nadia Benkirane-Jessel and her colleagues, began to open the so-called regenerative endodontics. Regenerative endodontics root canal therapy is a revolution that is intended to replace the dental pulp tissue has been damaged by an inflammatory response with the new network through a process of tissue regeneration. This treatment is said to be enough potential as an alternative to the actions of the pulp tissue removal as a whole and leave the teeth in the dead or non-vital in the mouth.
The researchers said that they have developed a substance in the form of a very thin layer of nano-sized that can help the regeneration of dental pulp tissue. Previous research has shown that this substance called alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone, or alpha-MSH, have anti-inflammatory. In tests conducted in the laboratory, researchers showed that alpha-MSH combined with a polymer will result in a material that can resist the inflammatory process in the pulp.
Alpha-MSH is also touted to increase the number of fibroblast cells, master cells found in the pulp. The researchers said that increasing numbers of fibroblasts will be able to help revitalize the dental pulp and reduce the possibility of dental pulp tissue to be discarded.
