Exploring Cannabidiol as a Potential Enhancer of Dental Biomineralization
Cannabidiol (CBD), derived from the Cannabis sativa plant, has shown promise in promoting dental biomineralization and enhancing the healing of dental tissues. Recent studies have indicated that CBD can effectively stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSC), even under inflammatory conditions linked to pulpitis and periodontal diseases. By influencing key factors such as apoptosis, migration, and expression of inflammatory mediators, CBD enhances the body’s natural mechanisms for repairing and regenerating dental structures. Research emphasizes CBD’s potential role in recruiting progenitor cells to injury sites and promoting extracellular matrix secretion, crucial for effective tissue repair. This compound may represent a significant advancement in dental therapeutics, combining inflammation control with biomineralization promotion.
