    Ingeniería de los tejidos en endodoncia: estado actual e implicaciones futuras
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2010-07) Álvarez Vásquez, José Luis
    Tissue engineering is a multidiscliplinary Science with impressive approaches in the last decade on the dental field; through design and manufacture of new tissues, it intends to replace impaired or damaged ones. The three key elements for tissue engineering are stems cells, growth factors or morphogens, and a scaffold of extraceílular matrix that constitutes the microenviro- ment for the last ones. The present article will overview current approaches toward teeth engineering in the en- dodontic field as well as some aspects and challenges that must be met in the making of a bio-tooth.

    Neuropéptidos: inflamación neurogénica en pulpa dental
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2009-07) Álvarez Vásquez, José Luis
    The defense mechanism of the pulpodentin complex in order protect itself from caries and dental procedures like cavity preparation, restorative procedures, among other injuries, is the inflammatory process.The pivotal role of the Nervous System in the inflammatory process of many tissues, including dental pulp, is known as neurogenic inflammation, which is mediated through neuropeptídes that are produced by the three types of nerve fibers that innervate the dental pulp: sensory, sympathetic and parasympathetic. Neurogenic inflammation is the first Iine of defense to protect tissue integrity and implies a complex Cascade of neuro-immune- vascular interactions, being a córner stone the neuroimmune interaction, on which is critical the role of neuropeptídes as immunomodulators. These neuropeptídes include Substance P (SP), Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), Neurokinin A (NKA), Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), Neuropeptide Y (NPY), function in health and disease.
