The decision in Dred Scott v. Sanford, (1857) mainly involved the Fifth Amendment Takings Clause and Due Process Clause.
Chief Justice Roger B. Taney also argued that Articles III and IV of the Constitution prescribed that only U.S. citizens could be citizens of a state, and that only Congress (not the Court) had the right to confer national citizenship.
Some people believe the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments were involved; however, these weren't ratified until afterthe US Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation, and were intended to prohibit slavery in the United States and to protect African-Americans' rights as citizens.
Dred Scott died in 1858, long before the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments were passed.

Did the 13th Amendment explicitly overrule Dred Scott v Sandford?
No. The 13th amendment does prohibit slavery but i was not a amendment at the time until 8 years after the case. Dred Scott did not win the case and became property of his owner again.Another Perspective:By the time the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified in 1865, Dred Scott had been dead seven years, so he didn't personally benefit from the change. The Thirteenth Amendment set aside the precedent established in Dred Scott v. Sandford, (1857), however, so yes, you could say it overturned the Dred Scott decision because the ruling could no longer be applied, enforced or cited as precedent in future cases.Case Citation:Dred Scott v. Sandford*, 60 US 393 (1857)
