Endodontic treatment is largely performed on teeth significantly affected by caries, multiple repeat restorations and/or fracture. Already structurally weakened, such teeth are often further weakened by the endodontic procedures designed to provide optimal access and by the restorative procedures necessary to rebuild the tooth. Root canal treatment weakens tooth structure and predisposes teeth to fracture. Root filled teeth are more susceptible to fracture than teeth with intact pulps because of loss of tooth structure due to caries, trauma and root canal preparation. Use of intracanal...

Regenerative endodontic procedures can be defined as biologically based procedures designed to create and deliver tissues to replace diseased, missed and traumatized pulp-dentin complex.Presently two concepts are seen in regenerative endodontics to treat non-vital teeth- one is the active persuit of pulp-dentin regeneration to implant or regrow pulp (tissue engineering technique) and the other in which new living tissue is expected to form from tissue present in the teeth itself, allowing continued root development (Revascularization).
