Abstract:

Although teeth with pulpitis/apical periodontitis are saved after successful endodontic therapy, they are devitalized and susceptible to reinfections and fractures. The development of biology-based approaches for dental pulp regeneration or repair is possible today because of recent advances in tissue engineering and biomaterials. Cell-free regenerative endodontic therapy offers a promising strategy for the treatment of necrotic immature permanent teeth in children and adolescents. However, studies are underway to determine whether this procedure can be applied to mature teeth.

Key words: cell-free regenerative endodontic therapy, cell homing, stem cell, tissue engineering
