Regenerative Endodontic Therapy

Regenerative endodontic therapy is defined as a biologically based procedure designed to replace damaged structures, including dentin, root structures, and cells of the pulp-dentin complex. In today's endodontics, the benefits of technological advancements and accumulated evidence-based knowledge guide clinical principles and practices, resulting in the improved retention of more natural teeth and tissues than ever before. Advances in regenerative endodontics and tissue engineering have empowered clinicians to perform a therapy known as pulpal regeneration.

This lecture aims to discuss regeneration procedures in both immature and mature teeth, drawing insights from personal clinical cases with long-term follow-ups. The limitations and advantages of expanding indications for revitalization therapy from immature teeth to mature teeth will be explored."
