Never heard of it being used in dentistry.

Thanks for your response.

I have some exposed roots that sometimes have bled a little then
healed pink then white forming tertiary dentin.

Huh?

I'd read that dentine could repair itself then when seeing some blood
if figured if perhaps pulp could repair itself. Then I found out about
adult stem cells in the pulphttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18499892- Hide quoted text -

I think part of the confusion is that I should swap the phrase
"exposed roots" for "exposed bits of pulp". So it should read "Could
fresh blood be used as a cavity lining on exposed bits of pulp?"

I think I might have got confused when i found a web page on exposed
roots and thought that must be my condition because I've had
difficulty finding a web page which mentions exposed bits of pulps.

Although I remember one person mentioning he felt he needed *root
canal* because his tooth was bleeding, so I presumed that's a hole in
the top of this tooth rather than at the side. The phrase "root canal"
confuses because its dealing with the pulp which is inside the root.

In my case its not a hole on the side of the tooth but the top.

A big hole, so big that its exposed bits of pulp.
