Immunohistochemical Study of Phenotypes of Dendritic Cells in Dental Pulps from Non-Carious and Carious Teeth
… would correlate with carious lesion depth and that CD4+ cells would be found in association with mature DCs. Pulps were collected from teeth exhibiting: (I) no caries (n=9), (II) shallow dentinal caries (n=5), and (III) deep caries (n=9). Pulpal tissues were cryo-sectioned and positive …
