Opis

Regenerative endodontics is the creation and delivery of tissue to replace diseased, missing and traumatized teeth. It can also be defined as biologically based procedures designed to replace damaged structures, including dentin and root structures as well as cells of pulp-dentin complex. It is one of the most thrilling developments in endodontics which uses the concept of tissue engineering to restore the root canals to a healthy state, allowing for continued development of the root and surrounding tissue . This regenerative approach is especially promising for cases involving immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulp, where conventional treatment options are limited and often result in compromised long-term outcomes. The concept of regenerating lost or damaged tissues within the tooth aligns with a broader movement in dentistry toward biological restoration, focusing on reestablishing natural structures and functions to improve oral health outcomes .
