Nerve regeneration was examined in rat molars that were briefly extracted and then replanted in the socket for 1-90 days. Immunocytochemistry was used to evaluate neural and nonneural immunoreactivity (IR) for low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (p75-NGFR) and for laminin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Three different types of pulpal response to replantation were found. Type I: Some replanted teeth had mild injury and still contained coronal odontoblasts and associated fibroblasts that retained p75-NGFR-IR; they continued regular dentin formation and had excellent reinnervation. Type II: Teeth with intermediate injury lost most or all of the coronal pulp tissue, but they regenerated odontoblast-like cells that formed irregular dentin, they had numerous dispersed p75-NGFR-IR fibroblasts in crown pulp during early regeneration, and they had excellent reinnervation. Type III: Severely injured teeth lost their original pulp; they filled with dense connective tissue and bone and had poor reinnervation. After Type I or II injury the Schwann cells around degenerating myelinated and unmyelinated axons had increased expression of p75-NGFR by 1-3 days. By 7-10 days those Schwann cells had formed hollow tubes (bands of Bungner) along the degenerating axon tracks. They maintained their increased p75-NGFR-IR during and after regeneration of unmyelinated axons, whereas Schwann cells involved in remyelination lost p75-NGFR-IR at that stage. The number of CGRP-IR axons in the regenerating pulp increased from 7 to 90 days. Laminin-IR increased in all replanted teeth at 3-10 days and only returned to normal patterns in teeth with Type I or Type II response at 20-90 days. The special p75-NGFR-IR of pulpal fibroblasts of adult rat molars did not usually persist in regenerated, reinnervated pulp. The extensive depletion of fibroblast p75-NGFR-IR and the continuing enhanced p75-NGFR-IR in unmyelinated nerve fibers at 90 days show that altered growth factor conditions characterize regenerated pulp of replanted teeth.
