Odontoblasts are cells specialized in dentin matrix deposition and the first line of defense when the dentin–pulp complex is injured by pathological processes, such as dental caries and trauma. Natural compounds, such as flavonoids, could be useful to stimulate odontoblast activity and reparative dentinogenesis in vital pulp therapies, especially in immature permanent teeth. This study evaluated the effect of f...
