Cells with mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) properties are present in adult tooth pulp as quiescent cells that are mobilised by damage. These MSC-like cells respond to tooth damage by stimulating their proliferation and differentiation into odontoblast-like cells that form dentine to repair (reparative dentine) the damage. In the continuously growing mouse incisor, tissue at the incisor tips is continuously being damaged during feeding by the shearing action between the upper and lower teeth that acts to self-sharpen the tips. We have investigated mouse incisor tips as a model for the role of pulp MSCs in a continuous natural repair/regeneration process. We show that the pulp at the tip of the incisor is composed of a disorganised mass of mineralised tissue that is produced by cells expressing the odontoblast cell marker DSPP. These cells become embedded into the mineralised tissue that is rapidly formed and then lost as the animal feeds. Tetracycline labelling revealed the expected incorporation into newly synthesised dentine mineralised tissue formation along the length of the incisor, but also a zone covering the pulp cavity at the tips of the incisors that is mineralised very rapidly. This tissue was dentine-like, but had a significantly lower mineral content than normal dentine as determined by Raman spectroscopy. The mineral was also more crystalline than normal dentine, suggesting that it was composed of small, defect-free mineral particles. To identify the origin of the cells responsible for the deposition of mineralised tissue we genetically labelled perivascular cells (pericytes) by crossing NG2ERT2Cre and Nestin Cre mice with reporter mice. A large number of pericyte-derived cells were visible in the pulp at the incisor tip with some having an elongated, odontoblast-like shape. These results show that in the mouse incisor, rapid, continuous mineralisation occurs at the tip to seal-off the pulp tissue from the external environment to prevent infection. The mineral is formed by perivascular-derived cells that differentiate into cells that express DSPP and produce a dentine-like material in a process that appears to function as continuous natural tissue regeneration.
