Effect of Statins with α-Tricalcium Phosphate on Proliferation, Differentiation, and Mineralization of Human Dental Pulp Cells

Introduction The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effect of statin and α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) on odontoblastic differentiation of human dental pulp cells and to compare them with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Methods Experimental cements were prepared with TCP containing simvastatin and atorvastatin. Cell proliferation, cell adherence on a dentin disc, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, expression of...
