The Immunomodulatory and Regenerative Effect of Biodentine™ on Human THP-1 Cells and Dental Pulp Stem Cells: In Vitro Study

Background. Pulp tissue affected by deep caries and trauma can be protected by vital pulp therapies in which pulp regeneration success depends on the degree of pulp inflammation and the presence of regenerative signals. Reparative dentinogenesis requires dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) activity which can be stimulated by many bioactive molecules to repair the dentine, mediating a balance between the inflammatory response and the reparative events. Therefore, this study was performed in order to investigate the immune‐inflammatory effect of Biodentine capping material on DPSCs and macrophages. Method. THP‐1, a human monocytic cell line, was differentiated to macrophages, and flow cytometry was used to analyze the expressions of specific macrophage markers. LPS‐mediated infection was created for macrophages and DPSCs followed by treatment with Biodentine. CBA array was used to investigate
