Abstract
Two fractions of isolated noncollagenous extracellular matrix proteins from dentine have been implanted into the base of exposed cavities in ferret canine teeth. After sealing the cavities, reparative dentinogenesis was assessed histologically after 14 and 28 days as compared to control cavities. Reparative dentinogenesis was enhanced in the presence of these matrix proteins with evidence of tubular dentine along the walls of the exposure and on the cavity floor demonstrating the in vivo morphogenetic properties of the dentine matrix proteins.
