Effects of MTA with propolis on the expression of odontoblastic differentiation markers in DPSCs. Cells were cultured with MTA (1 mg/mL) or a combination of MTA (1 mg/mL) and propolis (10 and 50 ng/mL) for 2, 4, and 6 days. Expression levels of DSPP and DMP1 were measured by real-time PCR, and the relative level of gene expression was normalized against glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation of triplicate measures from 3 independent experiments. *p < 0.05 versus control group. ^#p < 0.05 versus MTA treated group
