Conclusions Study results are limited, since only single teeth were used for comparison. The different preparations represent various angles and steep and parallel opposing tooth surfaces (incisors). For most digitizing systems, the latter are generally the most difficult to capture. Using CAD/CAM technologies, the preparation angles should not be too steep to reduce digitizing errors. Older systems might be limited to a certain height or taper of the prepared tooth, whereas newer systems (extraoral as well as intraoral digitization) do not have these limitations.

Effects of epicatechin, a crosslinking agent, on human dental pulp cells cultured in collagen scaffolds
Conclusions Our results revealed that ECN promoted the proliferation and differentiation of hDPCs. Furthermore, the differentiation was regulated by the ERK signaling pathway. Changes in mechanical properties are related to cell fate, including proliferation and differentiation. Therefore, our study suggests the ECN treatment might be desirable for dentin-pulp complex regeneration. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

Nairn Wilson and Mikako Hayashi say for too long, it has been regarded as the Cinderella of the medical profession and more cooperation is needed among doctors, dentists and health care professionals to enhance people's lives As practitioners with combined clinical experience of more than 70 years, we have learned that folk wisdom often stands the test of time. Benjamin Franklin, the scientist-philosopher-politician whose face adorns the US$ 100 bill, coined the expression, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.
