TL;DR: Comparing the water sorption and modulus of elasticity of five experimental neat resins of increasing hydrophilicity, as ranked by their Hoy's solubility parameters and five commercial resins found all resins stored in water exhibited a time-dependent decrease in modulus that was proportional to their degree of water Sorption.

TL;DR: Findings show that rhBMP-2 promoted the differentiation of human dental pulp cells into odontoblasts but did not affect cell proliferation, suggesting that rh BMP- 2 may have therapeutic utility in vital pulp therapy.

TL;DR: By simply applying more coats of adhesive, the strength and quality of dentin adhesion can be improved, especially if each layer was light cured.

TL;DR: Results suggest that BMP-2 may play an important role in mineralization stimulated by MTA, and it is suggested that bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 messenger RNA expression may play a key role in this role.

TL;DR: S-PRG fillers may play a role in mineral induction by phosphoprotein in vitro and induce mineral formation after incubation for 5.3h in the metastable solution without ions eluted from S-PR G fillers.
