A scaffold is one of the essential elements in pulp regeneration/revitalisation protocols. (1) Blood clots have been commonly used as a scaffold,(2-4) but there are some limitations. Firstly, the difficulty in inducing bleeding is a problem that has been outlined in many case reports (5-7) and animal studies.(8, 9) Secondly, the concentration of growth factors in the blood is limited, and after clot formation erythrocytes may undergo necrosis, which may affect the growth of the healing tissue.10 This article is protected by copyright.

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 April 2016.
All research outputs
#19,917,373
of 24,477,448 outputs
Outputs from Australian Dental Journal
#557
of 758 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#301,295
of 404,290 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Australian Dental Journal
#20
of 29 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,477,448 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 758 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.5. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 404,290 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 29 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
