3D dental pulp models are applied to disease modeling, biomaterial screening, and regenerative endodontics.
3D culture systems in dental pulp research provide physiologically relevant microenvironments that better reproduce the dentino-pulp interface, vascular and neural networks, and immune interactions.
Key challenges for 3D dental pulp models include vascularization, innervation, standardization, and clinical translation.
The source reviews current advances in 3D dental pulp modeling across scaffold-based and hydrogel systems, spheroids, organoids, bioprinted constructs, and microfluidic tooth-on-a-chip platforms.
3D pulp models bridge fundamental biology and therapeutic innovation and accelerate development of next-generation endodontic therapies.
