Regenerative Endodontics: An Evidence Based Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endodontic treatment of a tooth in its present state offers a high degree of success for most cases, but it leaves the tooth in a physiologically “dead” state. Regenerative endodontics is an emerging field which is trying to regenerate natural tissues associated with the tooth generated by nature. This article reviews the present status of regenerative endodontics, why is it important to regenerate the pulp, the materials and methods used for the same and progress made so far, along with the various challenges being faced and the future lines of research based on the published literature.

Stem Cells in Regenerative Endodontics
Background Currently, clinical endodontics includes procedures that are based on the ability of stem cells to accomplish repair (eg, direct pulp capping, apexogenesis, apexification, and even pulpal regeneration). An attempt is made to critically assess the current status in pulp regeneration therapy. Methods: Systematically, 2 distinctly different strategies exist involving stem cells for t...
متن کاملLevels of evidence for the outcome of regenerative endodontic therapy.
INTRODUCTION The aim of this systematic review was to assign levels of evidence (LOEs) to existing clinical articles related to the outcome of regenerative endodontic therapy and to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of this treatment modality. METHODS Electronic search was executed in PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases by using appropriate Medical Subject Headings terms cove...
متن کاملRegenerative endodontics: a review of current status and a call for action.
Millions of teeth are saved each year by root canal therapy. Although current treatment modalities offer high levels of success for many conditions, an ideal form of therapy might consist of regenerative approaches in which diseased or necrotic pulp tissues are removed and replaced with healthy pulp tissue to revitalize teeth. Researchers are working toward this objective. Regenerative endodont...
متن کاملAntiseptics and Antibiotics Used in Regenerative Endodontics
Contemporary endodontics and the future of endodontics are based on regenerative strategies. Success of these regenerative endodontic treatments depends on disinfection of the root canal system. Current research in endodontics focuses on identifying the optimal methods of disinfection of root canal systems to achieve predictable results in revascularization therapy. Although the use of sodium h...
متن کاملA clinical and histological report of a tooth with an open apex treated with regenerative endodontics using platelet-rich plasma.
INTRODUCTION In patients, the outcomes of teeth with necrotic pulps and open apexes that have been treated with regenerative endodontics have always been evaluated clinically and radiographically. The purpose of this case report is to present the clinical, radiographic, and histological findings of a regenerative procedure using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) 14 months after the procedure. METHOD...
