Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of regenerating tooth pulp in a mammal is provided. The method comprises removing at least a portion the existing tooth pulp of a mammal and adding amelogenin protein to the existing tooth pulp of the mammal to regenerate tooth pulp in a mammal. In another embodiment, a method of treating necrotic tooth pulp of a mammal is provided. The method comprises providing at least one necrotic tooth pulp of a mammal with an amelogenin protein. In yet another embodiment, a kit for regenerating tooth pulp in a mammal is provided. The kit comprises an adequate amount of amelogenin protein for regenerating tooth pulp in a mammal and instructions for applying the amelogenin protein to at least one tooth pulp of the mammal.

Abstract: A composition of microscopic devices utilizable in a medical diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. Each microscopic device includes a nanostructure provided with a ligand for effectively coupling the nanostructure to a predetermined chemical or molecular site. A medical method in part comprises inserting the medical devices into a patient, attaching the nanostructures via the respective ligands to instances of a predetermined type of target structure inside the patient, and thereafter activating the nanostructures to perform a preselected medical diagnostic or therapeutic function.
