  • Publication number: 20200268617
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a mineralized tissue adhesive or filler composition comprising an intermolecular crosslinked osteopontin protein for treating an exposed surface of a mineralized tissue. The mineralized tissue adhesive or filler composition can be added directly on the exposed surface of the mineralized tissue or on a layer of monodisperse OPN protein which has been deposited on the exposed surface of the mineralized tissue. The present disclosure also includes methods and kits of using the mineralized tissue adhesive or filler composition especially in dental applications. The present application also provides dental coatings, fillings, bondings and veneers comprising the mineralized tissue adhesive or filler composition described herein.

  • Patent number: 8258117
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new method for repairing human or animal tissues such as cartilage, meniscus, ligament, tendon, bone, skin, cornea, periodontal tissues, abscesses, resected tumors, and ulcers. The method comprises the step of introducing into the tissue a temperature-dependent polymer gel composition such that the composition adhere to the tissue and promote support for cell proliferation for repairing the tissue. Other than a polymer, the composition preferably comprises a blood component such as whole blood, processed blood, venous blood, arterial blood, blood from bone, blood from bone-marrow, bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, placenta blood, erythrocytes, leukocytes, monocytes, platelets, fibrinogen, thrombin and platelet rich plasma. The present invention also relates to a new composition to be used with the method of the present invention.
