ABSTRACT

Pulpal and periradicular pathosis, which can be caused by caries, trauma, or dental abnormalities, is a common disease in clinic for dental treatment. Root canal treatment (RCT) is a conventional option to manage the endodontic diseases demonstrating outstanding clinical outcomes. Regenerative endodontic treatments are growing in popularity are creating even more complex treatment protocols, involving revascularization and/or autologous platelet-rich plasma and scaffolds to elicit host stem cell de novo tissue formation to re-establish the vitality of teeth. Regenerative endodontics has the unique potential advantage of being able to continue the root development and maintaining vitality of the tooth, thereby potentially saving the teeth for the lifetime of the patient. This review mainly focus on the procedures of regenerative endodontics.
