  2. 1. On the repair of the dentine barrier

    Author : Helena Fransson; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dentine; dental pulp capping; immunohistochemistry; enamel matrix proteins; bacteria; dental pulp exposure;

    Abstract : Det övergripande målet för avhandlingen har varit att studera några aspekter av läkningen av tandens huvudsakliga hårdvävnad, dentinet. Vid mycket djupa kariesangrepp där dentinet förstörts och pulpan därmed blottats, rotbehandlas ofta tanden vilket innebär att pulpan tas bort och att rotkanalen fylls med ett rotfyllningsmaterial.

  4. 2. Studies on three matrix molecules in bone and dentin

    Author : Ulrika Petersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Osteoadherin OSAD ; Nucleobindin Nuc ; Calreticulin CRT ; biomineralization; osteogenesis; dentinogenesis;

    Abstract : The biomineralization of bone and dentin is a complex and dynamic process, involving the formation of an organic framework in which mineral crystals are deposited. The noncollagenous proteins (NCPs) of the organic phase play a central role in the extracellular matrix (ECM) organization and mineralization regulation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Odontoblast phosphate and calcium transport in dentinogenesis

    Author : Patrik Lundquist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : It has been suggested that odontoblasts are instrumental in translocating Ca2+ and inorganic phosphate (Pi) ions during the mineralization of dentin. The aim of this thesis was, therefore, to study the expression of components of the transcellular ion transport system, Na+/Ca2+ exchangers and Na+-Pi cotransporters, in odontoblastic and osteoblastic cells.

  6. 4. Regulation and function of mineralized tissue extra-cellular matrix proteins : studies of ADAMTS-1 and osteoadherin

    Author : Anders Rehn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The extracellular matrix of tissues is governed and maintained by cells and a number of associated proteins. The extracellular matrix of the skeleton is highly specialized, in that it is mineralized and contains matrix-specific proteins with unique functions. READ MORE

  7. 5. A study of the cell adhesions molecules, E-cadherin and C-CAM, and the intermediate filaments, nestin, in craniofacial and tooth development

    Author : Catharina Terling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : cell adhesion molecules; epithelial fusion; C-CAM; E-cadherin; junctional epithelium; nestin; odontogenesis; palate;

    Abstract : Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are involved in cell migration, morphogenesis, and cell differentiation within the embryo, and later in the maintenance of the multicellular organism. The aim of the present investigation was to analyze and compare the distribution of the CAMs, E-cadherin and C-CAM, during odontogenesis and palate formation, and furthermore, to analyze the expression of the intermediate filament (IF), nestin, in odontogenesis.
