Abstract

BACKGROUND: Dental pulp cells-derived small extracellular vesicles (DPCs-sEVs) had shown immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and tissue function restorative abilities. Therefore, DPCs-sEVs should be considered as a promising regenerative tool for dentin-pulp complex or whole pulp regeneration. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of DPCs-sEVs on the proliferation rate, migration capability, and expression pattern of DPCs for osteo/odontogenic gene markers in comparison with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).
