Induction of Reparative Dentin Formation on Exposed Dental Pulp by Dentin Phosphophoryn/Collagen Composite

Figure 4

Evaluation of the reparative dentin and dental pulp tissue. (a) Formation rate of the reparative dentin (%), (b) compactness of the reparative dentin (%), (c) degree of coverage by the reparative dentin (score), and (d) inflammation degree of the dental pulp tissue (score). Gray columns: DPP-Col, beige columns: Col, and white columns: Ca. Twenty-one teeth were used in each group (DPP-Col, Col, and Ca) and were further divided into three groups on the basis of experimental period (1, 2, and 3 weeks). * .
