Abstract

Different animal models have been introduced recently to study the process of reparative dentinogenesis in response to injury-induced pulp exposure. Using a mouse model is advantageous over other animal models since mice can be genetically manipulated to examine specific cellular pathways and lineage trace the progeny of a single cell. However, enabling a standardized molar damage in mice is demanding due to the small size of the teeth compared to the available dental instruments. Here we describe a reproducible and reliable in vivo model that allows us to study dentinogenesis in the first maxillary mouse molar.
