  • Dental pulp construct
    Patent number: 11701453
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for filling a root canal in a tooth. The method includes positioning a fiber in the root canal of the tooth, filling at least a portion of the root canal with an unset hydrogel composition, such that the unset hydrogel composition contacts at least a portion of the fiber, setting the hydrogel composition, thereby forming a set hydrogel, and removing the fiber from the set hydrogel, thereby leaving a channel in the set hydrogel. Methods and kits for repairing teeth are also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 18, 2023
    Assignee: Oregon Health & Science University
    Inventors: Luiz Bertassoni, Anthony Tahayeri, Avathamsa Athirasala, Jack L. Ferracane
