Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Dental Pulp Calcification:

1.	Proteins (Proteins, Gene)IBA 07/01/2013 - "ZP domain proteins have recently been found to be important for the morphogenesis of both denticles and bristles. " 01/15/2013 - "Here, we show that Fat is required for the planar polarized organization of actin denticle precursors, adherens junction proteins and microtubules in the epidermis of the late Drosophila embryo. " 02/01/2006 - "Finally, we define roles for the canonical Wingless and Hedgehog pathways and for core planar cell polarity proteins in denticle polarity." 12/01/1999 - "The secreted proteins Wingless and Hedgehog are essential to the elaboration of the denticle pattern in the epidermis of Drosophila embryos. " 01/01/1997 - "These loci encode actin-associated proteins and, consistent with that information, mutations cause abnormalities in actin bundles that support nascent hairs and denticles in stage 14-16 embryos. "
2.	Messenger RNA (mRNA)IBA 08/12/2003 - "After differentiating Df(1)RK4 embryos into those with visible denticle belts and those missing denticle belts, we assayed the presence of beltless mRNA; no beltless mRNA was detectable in embryos with missing denticle belts. " 10/01/1999 - "Additional sites of localization for both protein and mRNA included gill, nerve cord, and pituitary, as well as developing dermal denticles and rectal gland in the elasmobranch species. " 11/01/1987 - "Sequences situated closer to the mRNA cap site, between -225 bp and -91 bp from the start of transcription, are responsible for yellow expression in the denticle belts and mouth parts during larval development. "
3.	Durapatite (Hydroxylapatite)IBA 03/01/1993 - "The denticles were composed of two major chemical elements: Ca and P with mean concentrations 32.12% and 14.69% respectively giving a Ca/P weight ratio of 2.19 which is very close to the weight ratio of pure stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (2.15). " 05/01/1984 - "Peritubular dentin was not found, but hydroxyapatite deposition in the dentinal tubular lumens was observed, whereas typical denticles with dentinal tubules and hydroxyapatite deposits were located in the pulp chambers. "
4.	Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGF Receptor)IBA 08/01/1997 - "Signalling by the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a critical role in the segmental patterning of the ventral larval cuticle in Drosophila: by expressing a dominant-negative EGFR molecule or Spitz, an activating ligand of EGFR, we show that EGFR signalling specifies the anterior denticles in each segment of the larval abdomen. " 07/15/1999 - "Wingless signalling specifies smooth cells that produce naked cuticle, whereas the activation of the Drosophila epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (DER) leads to the production of denticles. "
5.	Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)IBA 05/01/1999 - "In the abdominal epidermis, Serrate promotes denticle diversity by precisely localizing a single cell stripe of rhomboid expression, which generates a source of EGF signal that is not produced in thoracic epidermis. " 07/15/1999 - "Wingless signalling specifies smooth cells that produce naked cuticle, whereas the activation of the Drosophila epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (DER) leads to the production of denticles. "
6.	ChitinIBA 09/01/2006 - "Finally, in the third phase, when secretion of cuticle material has ceased, the chitin laminae acquire their typical orientation, and the epicuticle of the denticles and the head skeleton darken. " 08/01/2014 - "While TcKnk contributes mostly to the stability and laminar organization of chitin in the elytral and body wall procuticles, proteins encoded by TcKnk2 and TcKnk3-3' transcripts appear to be required for the integrity of the body wall denticles and tracheal taenidia, but not the elytral and body wall procuticles. "
7.	Carbon MonoxideIBA 10/07/2015 - "In classical theory, teeth of vertebrate dentitions evolved from co-option of external skin denticles into the oral cavity. " 05/01/2005 - "Tooth sets and tooth whorls in crown-group gnathostomes are suggested to derive from the pharyngeal denticle whorls, at least in sharks, with the patterning mechanisms co-opted to the oral cavity. "
8.	CalciumIBA 01/01/1953 - "[Calcium precipitation and denticle]." 01/01/2006 - "The concentric disposition of the tissue elements shows that in the formation of a denticle there is a "center" around which a conjunctive substance avid of calcium salts is deposited. "
9.	Actins (F Actin)IBA 11/15/2013 - "Using the asymmetric placement of f-actin during denticle assembly as a read-out of polarity, we examine the requirement for Ds and Fat in establishing polarity across the denticle field. " 06/01/2007 - "We found that pri is essential for the formation of specific F-actin bundles that prefigures the formation of the denticles and taenidium. "
10.	coronal Dentin dysplasiaIBA 01/01/2013 - "Pulp stones or denticles are frequently found in the dental pulp; there is, however, scarce evidence about this phenomenon. " 03/01/1991 - "The findings suggest that the presence or absence of tubules should not be the sole factor for denticle classification since tubules can be also observed in "false" pulp stones. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Dye Lasers 03/01/1994 - "This article presents the removal of an attached pulp denticle with the use of a pulsed dye laser. " 03/01/1994 - "Removal of calcified attached denticle with a pulsed dye laser. "
2.	Transplants (Transplant) 12/01/1990 - "We therefore propose that outward orientation in a graft results from a combination of two factors: epidermal cells stretch along an interface with divergent cell adhesiveness, and they form a denticle perpendicular to their long axis. " 12/01/1990 - "Instead we found that outward orientation of graft denticles correlates with an elongation of epidermal cells along a host-graft border with divergent cell adhesiveness. " 12/01/1990 - "Here we show that, in untreated grafts that were transposed along the anteroposterior segment axis, the denticles also always tend to point outwards. " 12/01/1990 - "Recently we have shown for the cotton bug Dysdercus that, in 180 degrees-rotated grafts pretreated with colchicine, graft cells tend to adopt the orientation prevailing in surrounding host cells via an intermediate stage with outward oriented denticles (Nübler-Jung and Grau, 1987). "
3.	Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) 09/01/2011 - "To compare the oral status, cortical and spongy bone density of the mandible, and dental pulp calcification between the patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and age- and sex-matched healthy controls. "
4.	Endodontics 03/01/1978 - "[Denticles and various endopular calcifications and their evaluation in endodontics]."
5.	Curettage 09/01/2002 - "Treatment consisted of extraction of all denticles and extensive curettage. "
