Induction of reparative dentin formation in dogs by bovine bone morphogenetic protein bound to ceramic dentin.
Journal of Osaka Dental University 1995 April
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) refers to a group of bone-inducing growth factors used to enhance experimental osseous repair. Previous studies have indicated that BMP promotes the proliferation and differentiation of fibroblasts from human dental pulp both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, when BMP is used as a pulp capping agent, it has ability to induce the formation of both osteodentin and tubular dentin. In this study, we sought to explore whether or not BMP, complexed to ceramic dentin (BMP/CD), would constitute a more effective pulp capping agent than BMP alone. Experimental pulp exposures were created in dogs, and BMP/CD was placed on the surface of the exposed dental pulp. The inductive effect of such stimulation on reparative dentin formation was observed morphologically. Results showed that two weeks after exposure, some osteodentinal matrix was formed in the space surrounding the implanted BMP/CD particles while the remainder of the space was occupied by proliferating fibroblasts. At 4 weeks postoperatively, the dential bridge was complete. When ceramic dentin without BMP was used, there was minimal bone-like matrix formed even at 4 weeks postoperatively. These results suggest that the BMP/CD complex is effective as a stimulant of reparative dentin formation and shows potential as a therapeutically useful pulp-capping agent in a clinical setting.
